First time trying this with some age, and while it is not much evolved, it moves towards a Pinot-like elegance, especially on day 2 — 8 months ago

Ripe blue/black fruit, rocks, arresting acidity, soft finish. Light medium bodied, seriously drinkable Mencia — 10 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. — 4 years ago

Newest encounter with this Ribera Sacra red. Tasted like a Loire in blind tasting especially given its funkiness, but it’s more complex & layered if you take your time & let it settle down. Blackberries, a bit of fermented apple cider, & wild raspberries- the tiny ones. I can drink this all day. — 3 years ago

I didn’t make any notes but I have always enjoyed the Mencia grape from Ribeira Sacra. 80% Mencia and 20% other Spanish varietals including Brancellao, Garnacha and 4 others. Mineral, liquorice and black fruits. I will have the last one later in 2026. — 5 months ago

Best Spanish red I’ve had in a while. Mencia (or Juan in Portugal) great cab franc substitute. — 5 years ago
