Sharp aromas of flowers, pine and pineapple makes this distinctive Albariño from a single vineyard by the Rias Baixas region in Galicia, Spain to differentiate from others. Falls on the dry side and does not have a lingering long finish. A perfect companion on any seafood pairing. — 4 months ago

Complex and smooth, sage/herb earthy tannic — 23 days ago
Poured into a decanter about three hours prior to dinner. The 2012 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears and no obvious signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with heavy notes of Morello cherry, exotic spices, bergamot, black tea, red flowers, cola nut and stony earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This is a remarkable 2012 Riserva that hides its 15% alcohol about as good as any I have encountered. Full of character and full of life. My last bottle, but I hope to encounter this beauty again at some point in the future. Drink now through 2032. — 6 months ago
