Tank sample. Very similar to 2018, this Albariño has fresh lemon citrus, floral, and herbally aromas. The medium+ bodied palate is crisp and nicely textured with more ripe, lemon citrus, floral, lemongrass, herbs, and anise flavours, It has juicy acidity and touches of mineral on mid-palate. Dry, crisp, and clean with very good length on the finish. Tasted Mar/2020. Score: 88+ pts
