Pop on second tasting suggests residual sugar. Full bodied, good acidity but missing the bell pepper pyrazines that add some complexity to cab franc…OK. — 3 years ago

Ah, I get why Freisa gets little respect- deceptively light open, indeed, strawberry/raspberry acidity, vague mid palate, earthy, chalky but short tannin post...but it’s a very enjoyable, edumacational evolution! — 4 years ago

Nasty mans may call this ‘disjointed’, I am floored by rich n complex: buttery butterscotch nose yields to spicier, lighter palate- dare I say tangerine, bergamot? Hold on to your wines if you trust to your allotted lifespan, folks. Especially if they’re Donkey&Goat. — 4 years ago

Apologies to dear, dear wine mentor Grahm, this is a superb IMproper Claret from Pinot Gris, yet! Red currant? Guava depth soundings, tamed acerola lift... I am a most fond old man... — 4 years ago

Confused n conflicted- indeed thought it’s w blend, which seems what Mateo-García does best, but salesman at shop insisted it’s Godello mono. Like the herbaceousness, body seems too full and lush for milder acidity... — 5 years ago
