Don't know if it's just my glass, but it smells like a plastic pool floatie...But it tastes good. Fruity, more acidic than expected, but nice.

Light, a bit chalky, a little tropical fruitiness, moderate acid. Leisurely and lovely.

The two bottles I tried of the 2013 Tangent Albariño both had a hoppy/beer under taste. I found it quite odd; I changed glasses, rinsed them out prior, etc - and the beer under taste lingered. Previous bottles of this same wine were far better. I don't know what to make of a once good wine that now tastes of beer.

Buyer beware: this wine needs food to cut the intensity!
This Albariño is dry and full bodied with notes of apple and orange blossom finishing with a vibrant undercurrent of acidity and minerality.
For those looking for a casual wine to pair with fish tacos or shellfish on a Tuesday night, this is it. Personally I would opt for an Albariño from the area that does this varietal the absolute best which is Rias Baixas in Spain.
