Burgans Albarino

2003 Burgans Albarino ($14)   
Clear and bright, pale lemon yellow fading to a pale watery rim. Slight petillance detected in the glass and felt as a slight prickle on the tongue. Clean, youthful, pronounced nose of floral melon, citrus, apricots and minerals. Dry, with crisp acidity. Medium-bodied, with a pronounced palate like the nose. Medium alcohol and long length. A very good quality albarino from the Rias Baixas region.  Fresh and fruity, this wine should be consumed now and over the next 3 years.
