Day 1: No decanting, on the nose this is tangy and fruity but tart. On the pallet, fruity light but dry. Has brightness to it as well. Overall I enjoyed this wine but not my favorite. — a month ago

People who think rosé wines can’t be good need to try this one. Delicious. — 2 months ago

So lovely with a bit of age. The baby fat has sloughed off, leaving a dense herbaceous core with light tannin. Evocative. — 5 months ago

Full bodied and dynamic Cab, heavy aromas of blackberry currant, spice, and plum, initially chewy on the palate but opened up nicely after 30 minutes; paired well with pasta. — 2 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2020 “Pétalos” pours a deep purple color with a magenta rim and an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with ripe and tart black fruits: blackberries, black cherry, salmiakki, horse blanket, and mixed earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. A crazy, ambitious wine that’s the result of assembling over 300 plots. Between Raúl Perez and Palacios, Mencia doesn’t get much better. Drink now through 2030. — 10 months ago
