For an Alvarinho this is surprisingly herbaceous, bearing a green cut-grass aroma and lemon and pink grapefruit flavors. As the wine fills out over the next year, it will probably show more of the grape’s creamed apple and pear flavors. — (10/1/2012) —88

Full and rounded wine, with touches of toast, pineapple, melon and peach. It’s a fine expression of Alvarinho, keeping the essential fresh structure of the grape while also giving extra weight and richness. ——R.V.(11/1/2011)—— 91
