Bought a few bottles years ago and just "found" and tried one. Was taken aback as NOT a typical Rueda/Verdejo, a wine I enjoy occasionally and used to buy quite a bit for terrace drinking. Then re-read notes from when purchased - this wine was oaked! Drinks much more like a mature California Chardonnay than anything else. Very smooth with herb and rose on nose, hint of juicy fruit on palate and long finish. Will try a second bottle with …

Herbally fresh nose, mild oaky notes, some dill. What a mouthfeel it has! Superb balance and power. Excellent on the palate.

I have always like Naiades and with maturity, but this is rather past its best. Still rich and enjoyable, but only just. Drink up.

Beau vin, grande finesse et complexité. S'essouffle au cours de la soirée toutefois. A boire sans trop tarder!

Nose has floral elements and also a hint of smoke that someone else pointed out could be the sulfur used to finish the wine. Flavors of stone fruit, sort of sweaty, dirty but not musty? This was very unique and very good. If I were to guess I'd say meant for medium term aging.

First taste of Rueda - didn't particularly care for the flavors of this particular wine.

Nearly overripe melon, lemon, and pear, with a good whiff of oak, brings to mind an oaky American chardonnay, but one made with a deft hand. Body is easily medium plus (plus!), with acids peeking out and a developing hazelnut and bitter pineapple. Finish is really really long, with lemon rejoining the nutty flavors and giving some closure. Paired with seared scallops, carrot purée, and marjoram oil. Worked nicely. Something about this wine seems easy to write off, but it …

Worth getting again. Flavorful and fruity. Nice body...smooth finish even without a pairing. Great summer wine.

Spanish white wine tasting. (Riga) : Green hues. Greeny-hernal nose, herbs, also sweat and barberry on the nose. Quite intense and zippy. This typical bitterness on Spanish whites on the finish. (B)

A pretty light straw wine with a tropical nose of peaches and tangerines with cinnamon. Clearly spent some time in French oak with a spice buttered toast mid palate. But elegant and full with a lingering finish. From the list, Casa Mono NYC.

Grapefruit, herbs, fresh cut grass, med-Hugh acidity. Great white to eat with green curry.

Pop and pour. Started out a bit weak with little nose, very pale color and not a lot of flavor. After about an hour, it opened up in the glass to a moderate amount of tropical fruit and citrus, both on the nose and the palate, and a bit of pear. Actually a moderate to long finish. I was ready to give it something in the 82 range - a good wine but nothing to write home about. It got …

Gold yellow color. More oak flavors show on this bottle than previous ones. Vanilla creamisicle nose, lots of concentration, melon, citrus and some stone fruits integrated nicely with some wood spice in the mouth. Very good, but I liked prior bottles better.
