As the wine open up and warms up a little, I am wondering if this wine did see a little oak aging. All of the incredible aromatics of a stainless white wine are there, but it develops that body on the tongue that a little oak can bring out in a white. With that, there is still very little oak influence on the palate.
This albariño is one of the most balanced I've had, with acidity, lush mouthfeel and incredible aromatics! Awesome! My new favorite albariño. This wine is part of the Eric Solomon portfolio.
