Quite cold so the aromas are dampened down: lime, green fruits. Like the Borras Finas, this is a high-acid and demanding style of Alvarinho with good persistence. Needs food and barely shows its age. Likely to be even better with longer in bottle. Very little sign of the oak except a slight creamy/mealy note on the finish. (JH) JancisRobinson.com
