The 2014 Godello “Sobre Liás” bottling from Valdesil spends six months aging in stainless steel on its fine lees prior to bottling and offers up a lovely and youthful nose of tart pear, fresh coconut, slate minerality and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and still tightly-knit, with bright acids, fine focus and grip and a long, primary and nicely mineral finish. Godello ages beautifully and this is still a very young wine. It is approachable now, but its true blossoming is still a couple of years in the future and I would not hesitate to tuck it away in the cellar for a bit. (Drink between 2017-2030)
