The 2010 La Val Fermentado en Barrica sees six months in new French Allier oak with regular stirring. The nose is well-defined with vanilla, whipped cream scents augmenting the apple aromas. It needs just a little more clarity. The palate is smooth and rounded, the oak neatly folded into the fruit and maintaining tension and poise. There are pleasant orange zest and delicate apricot notes on the finish. If you like a bit of wood on your Albarino then you will not go wrong here. Drink now-2015. I visited Bodegas La Val, which lies in close proximity to the River Mino and the Spain/Portugual border. It was one of the appellation’s first sizeable estates – in fact, the original owner at the time was decried as “crazy” when he purchased his first of three vineyards, some 35 hectares that is still considerable to this day. This address offers some very commendable wines that are worth seeking out. Importers: Winebow, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 835-3061 Polaner Selections, Mt Kisco, NY; tel.
