The nose is incredibly spicy, with a burst of hot green peppers and curry leaf up front, giving way to wild herbs, crushed stone, lemon rind, and hints of fresh green apples. It's silky and deeply textural with minerality up front as young pit fruits and wet stone come forward, complimented by brisk acidity adding verve and lift from the mid-palate through the finale. The finish is long with saturating minerals, wet stone, wild flowers and spice. Wow--just WOW!

Dec 11th, 2020This is the wine of the week for me. The coche duty of Spain ??? Reductive style, white stone fruit, a bit of grapefruit and pine apple. First bottle ever tasted, this is top quality at a very reasonable price.

Amazing complex white with flavors of vanilla, oak, cheese (oxidative flavors) and citrus to finish. Complex nose of pineapple and lemon. Intense and aromatic. A great wine and quite unusual Albillo grape.

Från hundraåriga stockar i Ribeira del Duero. Riktigt maffig doft. Bakade äpplen, kokos, rosor, krutrök, vanilj. Smaken är komplex med koncentrerad, delvis exotisk, fruktighet. Tillsammans med krossade stenar, söta kryddor, citrus och vibrerande mineralitet. Burgundisk Grand cru-känsla.
