Pure electricity! Although a bit more jagged, this Albariño has concentration that trends toward Sketch. Acid heads should appreciate the cut that this citrus bomb asserts with heaps of lemon, lime zest, grapefruit and golden melon. There’s an underlying component of wet stone and white flower aromas that compliment the briny, sea salt subtleties on the nose and palate...hallmarks of benchmark Albariños. This wine screams for a bowl of mussels, charred octopus and an ocean breeze. Good stuff.

Medium bodied & smooth with ripe black cherry & red plum. #bierzo #mencia #RaulPerez — 9 years ago

As others have said...this shit is ridiculous. Very Chablis-like, but seriously hedonistic. Chablis in ibiza. Attenuated nose, but palate fires on all cylinders, clamshell, salinity, quinine bitterness, brilliantly textured, mouthwatering finish... pure pleasure. #raulperez — 4 years ago
This sings...creamy salinity, florals, toasted brioche; long acid-washed palate. Another Perez winner. #raulperez — 4 years ago
Made in the natty/dank way, an approach that does nothing for this wine...unless you enjoy the smell of cooked vegetables, raw herbs and tobacco in your red wine. However, there’s also a purity, juiciness and energy that wholly redeems it in the end. A really good wine that could’ve been great. #raulperez #bierzo #mencia — 6 years ago
Taut, fresh, structured. Tobacco, raspberries. Tannic. Positive dark color. Prefer this to tea-like, brownish, overripe Mencia. #raulperez #bierzo #mencía — 7 years ago
