This is a white wine made from 60% Rabigato and 40% Codega do Larinho from vine 60+ years old. Initially a funky nose that blew off after about 45 minutes. A lot of fresh petrol, wet stones, and pineapple on a highly acidic palate. The finish doesn't show as much complexity as the palate does, but still has enough going on to keep one interested. I'd say this would be a wine that one would either love or hate, luckily I'm the former. I think it's a very good white wine that still has some upside potential to it.
89 Points.
