The 2023 Alanda Blanco is stunning, pale and backward, with crystalline purity and a delicate texture, precise, symmetric and chiseled. As it sat in the glass, it started to unfurl elegant aromas of wildflowers and notions of wet granite. It's tasty, long and persistent, with an ethereal character that is captivating. This is a very serious vintage of Alanda, with potential to age but already approachable and delicious. It's intellectually rewarding.
