Deep cherry red with violet. Good aroma! Oak vanilla. Rose flowery. Red cherry. Slight meaty. Sweet aroma. Clove nutmeg cinnamon. Complexity. This is for wine lovers. Minerally. It is for more tasting its taste one than enjoying drinking.

Interesting to compare this with the Bierzo had a few days ago - both the Mencia grape. Consulting my map i note that Ribeira Sacra is next to Bierzo, both in Galicia. I found this wine slightly more delicious than the Bierzo. This wine is 80% Mencia - the other 20% being Garnacha and 5 other varietals that no one would’ve heard of before. Difficult to describe the palate - very savoury and spicy and lacking in overt fruit you might see in an Australian wine. No lesser wine because of this. I had my first one 28 weeks ago in January 2026. — 3 months ago

Fantastic wine. Normally I don't enjoy blends as much, but this wine has really found a good balance. I find a very subtle apple aroma. Then, in and out acidic on the tongue with a citrus finish, a hint of body in the background but not too heavy. Keeps it refreshing but still interesting with no lingering aftertaste, just a slow dissipating citrus. Great mix of triexadura, albarino & godello grapes — a year ago

Wine with roasted whole chicken part 2: I used to adore Ribera Sacra, & then moved away with the inevitable rise in price & trend towards more modern styles. Not this. A short decant (45-60) to take the wind out of the Brett sails, & we were off: dense, brambly black fruits on nose & palate, with a distant barn door left open on the nose. Medium plus acidity. It’s the length though that impressed me, along with a freshness (at 13%). Evolves in glass, as if the fruit still has layers. Like a really good chinon. At about 28$, a high end QPR. Eric Solomon imp, interestingly enough. — 5 years ago
