From the master, Raul Perez with fruit sourced from his family estate, the Joven (rabbit label) is predominately Mencia from 40-60 year old vines and aged in INOX.

Splash decanted directly before service; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2023 pours a deep purple color with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of blackberries, Montmorency cherry, horse blanket, purple flowers, licorice, and crushed rock. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Charming, rustic stuff. Drink now through 2030. — 3 months ago

Bon vin de semaine! L’élevage est encore un peu trop présent pour se mériter un 9/10. — 6 years ago

Pale gold. Honeysuckle, cinnamon on nose. Full bodied mouth coating, with baked apples, citrus on palate. Question if slightly oxidized. Zippy acidity, tart finish. — 7 years ago

Great fragrance. Giving nose. Tannins take over on the palate. Not aggressive just gripping in palate progression. Lean. $9.99 B — 10 years ago

My first wine from Niepoort/Perez from Bierzo , Godello at it’s best nose has a multi attitude to enjoy, taste is seduction of layers , finish a fresh experience of floor (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) this is elegant not like the rape on your tastebuds from Jura🇪🇸🥁 — 5 years ago

Too young. Only started to open up after a few hours. Disappointing at first but this has some potential. Definitely put it away in the cellar for 5-10 years. — 9 years ago

I really liked this wine. A good table red with pasta or casual drinking. Smooth. Very enjoyable. I'll definitely buy this again. We drank another bottle the summer of 2017 on the patio. Enjoyed it a second time. Will definitely buy this again. — 10 years ago

Raúl Perez is just a beast, this is again one of his family vineyard wines, it is a very elegant, burgundy sort of wine with a great fruity nose of cherries and raspberries with a nice wet stone undertone, taste very elegant and smooth with a great saltiness and a still strong acidity, little young and needs some air as well, beautiful wine if you like this elegant type of wines — 4 years ago

What we had was the 2011 Merlot but it did not come up here. Very smooth. I bought after tasting it at the winery and it was even better after decanting. — 9 years ago
