Very savoury. Med body. — 9 years ago

Monasterio de Corias

Finca Los Frailes Mencía Blend 2012

Field blend of Albarín Negro, Mencía, Carrasquín and Verdejo Negro. Steep and slate soiled slope. Neutral barrels. Bright acidity to boost the black cherry fruit, easy tannins, and just enough wet slate rusticity. My favorite of their cuvées. — 10 years ago

Surprise! What a nice unknown wine. 50% Albarin and 50% indigenous Mencia (no stems) from JR and tasted 10 years ago wondering how it’d age. Well it aged beautifully. Nose is endless floral yet deep earthy notes, lithe body lively on palate and long finish. Yum. QPR $17 — 3 months ago

Monastero Suore Cistercensi

Coenobium Lazio Bianco Trebbiano Blend

Really clean, like Asturias pear cider. Especially because it had some carbonation when I opened it and the cork blew up like a champagne mushroom. Paired w/ mushroom ragù over cheesy polenta — 7 years ago

Monasterio de Corias

Guilfa Vino de la Tierra de Cangas Verdejo Negro Carrasquin

A Cangas blend of Carrasquín and Verdejo Negro from old vines on steep slate slopes. Stashed in new and 2nd use French oak for under a year, for a total of 2000 bottles. This is like a cool climate Priorat - dark fruit and slate, firm acid, light tannins and only 13.5%!

Still very young at 3 years, but cellaring will only improve it.
