Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Holly Bruns rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

A lovely white with a big floral aroma complimented by some peach, and unripe pineapple. A little minerality and sweet spice add some complexity to the palate and a lively hit of lemon sees through the finish. It's fuller than most Vinho Verde wines with a smooth texture but some good acidity balances everything out.
Jane Staples rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

It's already spring in Portugal, where this elegant Vinho Verde is produced. Floral and fruity, medium bodied with balanced acidity, it makes a lovely companion to grilled white fish and salad.
The 2010 vintage of this wine was #46 in Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 Best Buys of 2011. Quite expressive floral and ripe citrus along with hints of sweetgrass and peach. Generous fruit, medium body and a smooth, creamy texture. This is Vinho Verde with some serious stuffing. Tangy lemon peel and a kiss of minerality on the finish. Source: Vintages Wine Panel
