Aromas of baking spices and ripe
berries. Spicy, soft raspberry and
blackberry glide into the palate on a
frame of moderate tannins and white
pepper. The fruit lingers through the
finish balanced by a lifting acidity. |

"The 2007 Burgans Albarino is light
gold-colored with a sprightly nose of
mineral, spring flowers, and lemon peel.
Ripe, balanced, and concentrated, this
is an ideal match for flaky fish

"Sexy aromas of blueberry and

mocha and candied flowers. I looked for
tannins but failed to find them.

bubbles...The finishing savor of pie
crust places it in the context of more
expensive sparklers, the dry roasted

Spain." -Wine & Spirits |

"Dense ruby/purple-colored, with
an exotic, exuberant perfume of
black fruits, flowers, incense,
and licorice, this
unctuously-textured, full-bodied
port is one of the most
concentrated of the vintage.
Sweet, expansive, and succulent,
this large-scaled, but
remarkably well-balanced effort
is surprisingly forward and
accessible (by Fonseca's
standards). Anticipated
maturity: 2006-2025." -Robert

"Tiny bubbles seemed to linger in this
pale yellow wine. Aromas of ripe apple,
lemon, honey and a bit of pepper moseyed
up from the glass. Balanced flavors of
tart green fruit, honey, lemon and peach
shared equal parts on stage. Panelists
described the bubbles as "not too
frothy" and suggested that the wine
offered a "warm, dry mouthfeel." -Wine

of cinnamon, fresh-baked biscuit and an
unmistakeable aroma of green apple that
rose effortlessly to the nose. The
flavors triggered a response of candied

This is one of this co-op’s
best-balanced, easy-to-like bottlings we
can remember. The bouquet is clean as a
whistle, with pear, apple and slate.
Graceful on the palate, with citrus and
green-apple flavors. A little lime
carves shape into the long finish."
