L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The 2022 Albino displayed a yellow color without any hints of rosé, as the Caíño red grapes were terser, the skins didn't break and they didn't let any color into the wine. Despite having less alcohol than the 2021 I tasted next to it, the wine feels a little heavier, less vibrant and with a different profile. It has notes of orange peel, and there's less complexity, obviously because it has one year less in bottle, but it still feels more straightforward. But with time in the glass, the wine seemed to suffer a transformation, getting fresher and more complex and nuanced. A white chameleon?
