Quinta de Chocapalha, Reserva Branco, Lisboa

Lighter than previous vintages I have tried, with more finesse. Lovely mineral nose, with a touch of lanolin. Lovely balance, with acidity that us calling out for some shellfish. Touch light in the mid palate though. Still very young tasting - perhaps it will fill out a bit. Suffering a bit for a virus though and this may well score a few points higher when it goes.

Cirtus, apple almost candylike on the nose. Dry with ok acid but not overwhelming. Medium body and lots of fruit, grape, apple. Fairly long aftertaste, showing a little heat, decent effort.
