Adegas Valmiñor Davila M.100 2007 13% abv; Loureiro, Caiño Blanco y Albariño; in French oak barrel of 2500 liters (I don't know for how long and what age oak); Rías Baixas, O Rosal
This was a Christmas present from my boss. We import Valmiñor to Finland but I don't think we sell this M-100 (I think we only have the Albariño, regular Davila and the L-100 as a "special").
I was scared because of the mention of oak on the back label, but I shouldn't have been: I don't sense any new oak aromas. It is enormously fragrant, quite like a Viognier in its boisterous, peachy aromas. It is also mineral and slightly grassy so the in-your-face floral fruitiness doesn't become too much. Very full bodied, but high in acidity, crunchy even. It makes my mouth water and it dances on my tongue yet oddly enough it is at the same time so heavy that I wouldn't call it moreish. It quite overwhelmed my poor little steamed pangasius-fish.
A hugely interesting wine, but at least now it is too weighty for me. I wonder what a year or two in the cellar would do for this?
