Lacima Ribeira Sacra Red Blend

Att lagra eller att inte lagra, det är frågan. Presterar nu, men örterna och syran kanske hade varit mindre aggressiva om nåt år.

This wine is from NW Spain, just E of Rias Baixas, made predominantly of hand-picked mencia grapes of >50-year-old vines. The color is light purple with a brick tinge; nose is full and round with dark berries, a flinty salinity, mediterranean spices, and a hint of cabernet-like pyrazines; taste is also round with mild small tannins and medium alc. and acidity, dark fruits, no hint of new oak, and a pleasant elegant finish. Paired with spanish hams, dried pata negra filé, and French Beaufort ”gruyere-comté”-type cheese from the milk of high-altitude grazing cows. Yum!

The Maestro @DMSelections has another excellent Cult Hit from Spain with this sexy Ribiera Sacra! Kirsch, wet stones , touches of green tea and chocolate #sexylady

Lovely, lovely, lovely. But needs time - would keep it for another 3-5 years.

Compared to lalama this is slightly more herbal and mineral. More subdued nose and more complex palate. Higher acidity as well. Very good. Very smooth and complex

Savor with succulent fruit, this wine has gentle tannins and a supple mid-palate. Not to be aged too long, this is great for the next few years.

I really like this one. Lovely, bright red fruit on top with a sturdy core underneath. It also has slightly bitter toned complexity towards the end which, for me, makes this wine really interesting.

A crushing expression of natural Mencia from Bibei. 2011 is singing right now with a long life ahead. Wild

Dark but lifted fruits. Layered and complex. Real class and poise
