Hasn't really evolved much, but still drinking very well.

The Mencia grape from Bierzo - one of my favourites! Nose of berries with peppery earthy meaty smokey funky and bloody notes. The complete savoury package! The same descriptors come thru on the palate. Looking forward to trying their top shelf "Corullon" in the near future. Must buy more Mencia from Bierzo. Top marks for a groovy label design as well for the Petalos.

Mencia offers so much as a grape with its cherry savouriness. My kind of wine. A great label as well!

Álvaro Palacios is one of the best. This one has a few years and it is pretty good still. A lot of dry earth and leather with some nicely layered fruit.
