Albarino wine was featured on PBS cooking show, so I though I would give it a try. Glad I did. First time that I have tasted this varietal. It reminds me of Semillon. Floral aroma, peach flavor, sweet but with well balanced acidity, long finish--a very nice wine. It was an excellent complement to our dinner of seared chicken breasts and fresh corn salsa. All of our guests enjoyed it. I hope to find some more.

Nice nose, but uninspiring. Pears and a sense of minerality on the nose. But tastes dilute and finishes bitter. The mineral water flavor is one thing, but the finish is a negative.

Scents of pears, crisp green apples, and a floral note show on the nose. This is cool and clean, and the texture is right on. Some bearly ripe pears show through softly. The flavors are good, but it's a shame they are so light. 88-

Same characteristics as stated in my previous tasting note. Improved by two more years in the cellar. Very nice wine.
