Medium ruby garnet , garnet terracotta rim. Slightly sweet , roasted nose, with chestnut some sous bois , grafite , slight seaside hints. After a while a touch more herbal. On the palate quite stern dark fruits , mineral , grafite notes , quite dry tannin and ok balanced acidity . Reasonable length and sous bois , grafite tinged finish . This is still quite young though its appearance is slightly more advanced than the 1988 . Needs a decant and held up well over the 5 hours we had it open . Drink now and over the next 5-10 years. A little pedestrian overall and is outclassed by the superior 1988. — 5 days ago

In one fell swoop kick off the sandals, throw off the shirt, hop skip across sun-baked flat tile stones and dive with a swan’s assurance into the seaside swimming pool, warmed only by the elements, and just as mysterious, elusive and temperamental…….

Smells and tastes like the seaside and citrus, slightly effervescent, deliciously drinkable. — 3 years ago

Baby’s 1st parcela unica and gotta say, it delivered! I like the Envinate Lousas wines—they’re always pretty good but usually a bit green and not profundo imo. This one started that way but as it opened, the high acid rolled off to reveal an extremely terroir driven wine, ripping w tension and minerality. The Lousas mencias usually give fancy n rhone vibes to me (i.e. entry level jamet), but Seoane had more of a juicy mineral burg thing going on (think Irancy) than a meaty rock thing. The bride observed wisely that this wine tasted very mineral and oceanic, but more like a seaside cliff than a briny beach. — a year ago

Sunday night wine when the Monday tomorrow isn’t packed is such a wonderful treat. There are no more weekend obligations, just the unwinding of a warm week. A transitory time before the start of the next.

Frankly is starting to peg me for a particular palate. Apparently I like complex, versatile, and idiosyncratic white wines. Right now, this season, this moment. Yes. Tomorrow, who knows?

Aromatic. Perfume like citrus blossom. A bit of lavender.

This is super interesting. Kind of reminds me slightly of Falanghina. As promised, there’s that seaside saline quality, which I love. A little nutty. A little minerals. Flowers blossoming.

This is nice. The first three bottles recommended win out, but I’m glad to try a varietal I’ve never had before. Won’t be going to the Amalfi this summer anymore, but at least I can have something close enough in a glass. — 3 years ago

2022 vintage. 40% Marsanne. 25% Clairette. 30% Ugni Blanc. 5% Bourboulenc. Medium-bodied. For those times when you don't want bubbles, Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc...perfect shellfish and white-fleshed fish pairing along with lunch salads and lighter soups. Or, you could just sip it by the seaside. Tastes entirely appropriate. 10.18.23. — a year ago

N: Big acetone, oranges, varnish. This isn’t a seaside fino, as it’s Pedro Ximinez from Montilla-Moriles. Inland. The salinity is less so than in the Jerez models.
P: Nuts , oranges,like a dry marmalade,lots of fruit. Almonds.
Really nice on a hot day.
Thanks@Enramistas. — 2 years ago

Just love this wine, from seaside town of Comados (birthplace of Albariño), one of the oldest wineries of the region. Bright pale lemon with pronounced tropical fruit aromas and citrus scents. On the palate pear, apricot and peach flavors with honey lemon zest and hints of salinity. Well balanced with pleasant lively acidity, finishing with mineral, honey and wet stone nuances on the medium ending. Very nice! Should improve over the next few years. Nice value — 2 years ago
