As other writers have commented, this takes a long time to open up! Give it 5 or 6 hours..

Interesting nose, and could easily mistake it for a Sangiovese. Hazelnuts, almond.

Medium bodied with pomegranate, dried cherry, a touch of quince, the tannins from the fruit is still so much larger than that of the barrel it is aged in, giving that true connection to old world wine.
A touch of acid and lip smacking tannin.
The label has the lot and date stamped on it.

Un buen vino, con aroma a café y frutos rojos, con cuerpo. Una Mencía aromática de Valdeorras.
