Finca Meiximán Ribeira Sacra Mencía

Elegant nose of sour cherries, mineral hints of iron, hay, high acid, balance and length

From magnum. This wine still has tons of energy marked by its high acidity. Loads of red fruit just starting to show some tertiary leather and earth. Rustic. Craves food. Any food.

Very Burgundian. Bright, focused, spicy and herbaceous. Slightly reductive.

Lavender, spice/cardamon, permanent marker

Deep and intoxicating nose. Ripe dark fruit and menthol. Rich texture but energetic palate. Firm medium tannins. Great character. Dark cherry, chocolate, meat, menthol, orange. New oak? Needs food!!

Very well balanced. Structured to age a few years but ready to drink now. Would pair well with a nice marbled ribeye

Brilliant Mencia from Ribeira Sacra. Immensely balanced and food friendly.

Tastes like Cote Rotie!

I can finally see all the hype about Ribera Sacra (only had a few). Loads of fresh black fruit, tar, and licorice, but so incredibly fresh. Amazed a 14% wine could be so gluggable. Bright acids, mineral, with nice tannic grip. Go get some

A healthy reminder that everyone should drink more mencia.
