My very best Ribeira Sacra! Lovely softness, balanced tanins and acidity, explosive fruits and mineral aromas... Wonderful!

Old vine Mencia, pretty and plush with a nice tug between the red fruit and herbs.

Nov 11th, 2015Dry, cherries, wood, not a lot on the nose. Lighter, but still dry. Didn't go too well with porcinis, will try a better pairing. Maybe my palette's not ready for it! Decanted for 2+ hours.

Feb 15th, 2015Wow. Asked for a Spanish red from somewhere other than RbD, Rioja or Priorat with nice minerals and they offered me this. Elegant, light cherry Coke flavor (in a good way), satisfies the soul.
