Bodegas Portia Prima
La Encina
Deep, vivid violet. Oak-spiced dark berries, mocha and violet on the deeply perfumed nose. Deep, jammy black and blue fruit and vanilla flavors show good energy, and a peppery note adds spicy lift on the back half. The vanilla notes carry through the clinging, rounded finish, which is framed by well-knit tannins. Malo and 15 months of aging in new and used French oak barrels.

A fantastic expression of Tempranillo grape, full body, ripe, dense with a long aftertaste. So tasty. It should be even better in a few years.

May 17th, 2021Black purple in the glass, with dark fruit and forrestal scent on the nose. A soft mouthfeel, with dark plums, blackberries and spicy herbs. A 100% Tinta del Pais (Tempranillo). Really nice now, but years ahead as well.

Dec 12th, 2020Had better, previous years are much better IMHO. Discovery is all part of the voyage. At €14 it’s not one to take on your round-the-world voyage and I wouldn’t want it to be the only bottle in the desert island wine fridge.

May 21st, 2020Really good value (CHF 18 @ Coop) Tempranillo. Nicely aged in oak, but still returns deep fruit flavor.
