Finally this week, we return to the Albarino varietal in the form of a 2007 Morgadio Legado del Conde (wine.com, $12.79/bottle). Pale straw yellow in color with somewhat muted aromas of citrus on the nose, I thought at first I was really going to like this wine. Unfortunately, however, there was something almost bitter about it, especially in the finish – a characteristic that, unfortunately, turned me and J pretty much off.
In short, while this wasn’t a completely horrible wine (J might actually disagree with me on this point), it certainly isn’t something that I would seek out again, especially when I can get better Albarino for the same price.
2.5 corks popped….
Cheers!!
