Bodegas Martin Codax 2008 Albarino

Variety: Albarino
Region: Rias Baixas
Vintage: 2008
Closure: Screwcap
Alcohol: 12.5%
Colour: Dark golden/yellow
Bouquet: pineapple pulp, boiled lime lollies (sweets)
Flavour: Something like Granny Smith apple skins at the start levels out to a delicate, lemon finish. Surprisingly long with some mineral as well. Not much in the way of acidity so best to drink up now.
Points: 85 (3+7+11+7+7+50)
Notes: I tasted this four years ago and kept a bottle to see how this thing ages (as an affliction of my time in Prague and wondering how white wine ages). While a lovely accompaniment to my lunch today it is probably best drunk younger, although it is very level and gentle now. A nice start to the summer.
