Best Albariño I’ve ever tried. Another perfect hit by Chambers, on 4/13/2025. Nice foretaste of Gallicia. Strong acid and body. Zesty citrus but cedar and peach broaden the flavor and mouthfeel. — a month ago

2022 at 30 € from Coalla in Oviedo on 5/18/2025. Immediately notice a yellow orange meniscus. Corked? Bad color. Dead mouth feel. Slight apple vinegar. Clerk next day says it’s normal. “Balsamic“ indeed characteristic. Pace Eric Asimov, we find — not “ superb, bright, lively, and refreshing.” — a day ago
