Tasting - 2013 Alvarez de Toledo


Name: Alvarez de Toledo
Variety: Godello
Region: Bierzo
Country: Spain
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95

Winery review: "This unoaked beauty delivers a lovely perfume of baking spices, melon, peaches, and mineral. Round, spicy, and pleasure-bent, this smooth-textured, impeccably balanced effort over-delivers in a very big way. Drink it over the next 3-4 years." The Wine Advocate -90 points

My review: Heavy melon came through on the nose with hints of floral and pear. The wine was very clear in color. On the palate this wine brought melon and a slight tropical fruit basket. A very good deal, the nose was nice but I will pass on this wine.

This wine was tasted on it's own with no food.
