Tasting Notes - Bodegas Senorio Godello Valdeorras Val de Sil 2003 (Recommended)

I suspect this variety is best drunk as an 2 to 4 year old but this was still a good drop. Deep yellow in colour and clearly mature. More than I would expected. Nose shows some oxidative and mildly volatile notes, like an old chenin, but quite acceptable. Tastes like it smells. Hard to describe, its simply an aged dry white, albeit it's only 5 years old. Instead this is all about balance and texture with nice and almost thick minerally chalky note. Again very chenin-like. A touch of bitterness and aniseed to finish.
