Was a little worried I killed a baby at 6 years, but it’s drinking wonderfully pnp. Big sour cherry, some grip, looking forward to see how this evolves over the evening. — a month ago

Pago de Valdoneje Roble Bierzo Mencía 2023

This will work with the ribeyes tonight. A really solid Mencia for the price. Dark fruit, leather, some vanilla, wet leaves. Tannic and acidic, great for the fat I'm about to consume.

Damn, if you’d said ribeyes, I’d have been there, we’re having pasta.

Las Gundiñas Lomas de Valtuille Bierzo Mencia 2018

A nice Mencia from Bierzo, Ruby red color, purple hues, with aromas of juicy red fruits, spice and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, tart strawberry and cranberry, with spice and gentle oak notes, very Rhône-like. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy character. Nice! — 2 months ago

La Vizcaina La Vitoriana Lomas de Valtuille Bierzo Mencia 2021

Light footed and quite light bodied, yet with nice tension, beautifully integrated tannins and a juicy flow.
Dark fruit (black cherries, mulberries) and turned earth with a hint of tar and leather but also with a floral whiff adding freshness & lightness.
Juicy, with a certain effortlessness yet with quite some depth and a dark, rocky mineral core.
Somewhere between a good Morgon and a Baga - this is delish! And with just 13% alc, dangerously gluggable.

Checking in 18 months later. Loosening up. Fruit starting to come to the fore. Should be killer in 2+ years. — 5 months ago

Valtuille Vino de Villa Bierzo Mencía 2020

13%. Not the most concentrated or complex wine but impeccably balanced. Fruity but not overdone. Plenty of earthiness. A little hit of tannin and smokiness on the back end. Slight astringency. Burgundian is played when talking about Bierzo but you really can’t help the comparison. These guys are making wine the right way. Chug city. Raul Perez’ nephew, apparently. — 9 months ago
