Just wow. Elegance, rich and ripe but with finesse, gorgeous balance between fruit and acid. Leesy. Ripe stone fruit with ever so slight whiffs of citrus. Great as a first course wine but beware: Pop before the guests get there at your own peril. Just buy two: one to drink half of as you are putting the finishing touches on the scene before guests arrive and a second for when they do. Just so damn good...with food or alone. What Burgans and Codax want to be, bless their hearts. And this is the bottom rung in the producer's quality ladder?Literally makes me want to hop a plane to Rias Baxias and sleep in the soil there in hopes of becoming a better man. Now to find the next few rungs up. — 9 years ago

Superb food friendly wine. Versatile. Fresh, crisp and focussed on its own, but sings with seafood. Texture and acid and gorgeous citrus. — 6 years ago
Wowza. Treixadura, Albariño, Torrontés and Lado from steep granite hillsides. Luis makes his Escolma wines only on optimal vintages, and this sees 1st and 2nd use French barrels for a year, plus 3 more in bottle before release. Incredibly layered, lemon pith, pear skins, wet rocks and bright acidity. This is Spanish Meursault for lack of better comparison. — 9 years ago
Lovely. Mouthwatering, slightly saline, peach, apricot, lemon. — 3 years ago
