Fresh, clean “open field” aromas. Like a hill overlooking the calm sea. Light herbs, flowers and candies lime. Very nice. Vibrant, acidic and clean in the mouth. Some SB like texture, green herbs and grapefruit peel texture. Impressed!

If you could bottle a Denver sunset, you’d get a soft mellow creaminess accentuated with sharp tang, herb flowers, and a dry chalky layer. This is that.

Fresh as can be. Meyer lemon, white peach, jasmine and ginger. Lovely softness on the palate that is yet firm and well framed. Nice mineral notes on the finish.

On the body side of Rias Baixas. Battonage I guess, as it is only Albarino, but looks like one that can age. Volume, white boned fruit, minerality and length

Reminded me of a higher end Verdicchio, with maybe a little more cut.

Returning after a hiatus of more than a year. Not sure why now. I have been drinking, just not posting. 🤷♂️. Great 4-course meal at Vinkkeli in Helsinki, started with this super fresh Albariño.
