A complex and chalky style with white-almond nougat, pears and lemons, as well as a fresh pear-pastry edge. The palate has a succulent, focused and lively feel with apple and pear pastry, delivered in amazingly dense yet fresh mode. Long, long finish. Drink or hold.

I found great finesse in the 2017 Albariño El Palomar, which showed superb balance and precision. It's clean transparent and very expressive, with the dry sensation from the Albariño on granite soils and that certain austerity in the mouthfeel. It's nicely textured, tasty and long. This should develop beautifully and for a long time in bottle. 4,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2018.
