Tim Atkin MW - 98 points - 2019 Albillo Viñas Viejas
"One of Spain's greatest white wines, produced outside the Ribera del Duero Denominación de Origen for the time being, this is a field blend of Albillo Mayor with 5% of other varieties. Salty, stony and appealingly reductive, with some lovely struck match top notes, it has the concentration of its 100-year-old vines, bread, almond and citrus peel flavours and a chiselled finish. World class."

"The Albillo variety has only recently been recognised by the Ribera del Duero authorities. Jorge Monzón, the master of purity, stopped me in my tracks in February 2023 with his version. Vividly fresh, with lime zest; linear, intense, a wine with many years ahead of it."

"The 2019 Albillo Dominio del Águila Viñas Viejas (from La Aguilera, Ribera del Duero) was fermented and aged in barrels. It has a yellow hue with a greenish sheen. The herbal and nutty nose reveals fennel, pennyroyal and chamomile notes against a Granny Smith backdrop. Creamy and taut, the refreshing, chalky mouthfeel delivers a high-pitched, flavorful finish. This is a beautifully crafted white done in a Burgundy style."
