Something's off with this vintage - it's lost that lightness that made previous releases sing. Maybe my memory's playing tricks, but I don't think so. Everything's technically correct, hitting all the expected Loureiro notes, but there's a heaviness dragging through both nose and palate like it's wearing winter clothes in summer. It's not bad, just... disappointing. Honestly, I'd reach for Ten by Aphros instead - at least that knows how to keep things fresh and lively.
