2010 Raul Perez, Rias Biaxis, Sketch (RT93) From the fabled Raul Perez, one of the best-known and most famed winemakers in Spain today, comes this stunning expression of Albarino, which is aged in bottle, in the ocean, deep underwater. It presents perhaps the most rich, full bodied, single vineyard expression of Albarino in the market today. While not quite up to the prolific profile of the 2008 & 2009, still a superb showing built on a foundation of sea salted-lemon curd, it is full figured and lushly adorned, a clear step above the vast majority of Albarinos in terms of extraction, concentration and complexity. Its long finish puts a punctuating mark on its resounding showing. Drink now-2018
