    Tan in color and only slightly tropical on the nose, this is narrow on the palate and not defined beyond the basics. Oily, tart peach flavors finish with a note of dried apricot and high acidity.

    Apple, pear and green-melon aromas are clean and typical for Albariño from Rías Baixas. In the mouth, this feels healthy, with leesy weight matched by firm acids. Flavors of melon, apple, green herbs and grass finish with a note of saline and sea shell.

    Tan in color and smelling fairly oxidized. Aromas of peach pits and blanched almond lack freshness, while the palate veers more toward applesauce than fresh fruit. There's some life left but not enough to make it a recommended wine. Tastes, feels and smells sort of jumbled.
