This is beautifully done

and I'll maintain the start-date drinking window that acknowledges that

For this winery and its typical style

The caveat is that the fruit is so young and undeveloped that you won't be getting everything this has if you open it now

this impressed me for its intensity of fruit flavor and concentration but less so for its structure

Muros Antigos Escolha 2023 | 90 points Wine Advocate | Vinho Verde, Portugal wine This is beautifully doneThe 2020 Muros Antigos Escolha is a blend of 40% Loureiro, 40% Avesso and 20% Alvarinho, unoaked and notably crisper and lighter than last year's (1. 5 grams of residual sugar, 7. 2 grams of total acidity) and 12% alcohol. Each of the grapes comes from the subregions most famous for themAlvarinho from Mono e Melgao, Loureiro from Lima and Avesso from Baio. This is where the lineup gets fruity as well as fresh. This is delicious, not merely well
