Top Notes For
Five minutes of gut-churning, durian-stink, stench-of-death reduction gives way to a pleasant, one-dimensional, appealing Mencia. A little raspberry, a little game juice. I can’t begin to imagine how many bottles get rejected in restaurants. This is the vinous equivalent of your best friend punching you in the face to say hello. #guimaro #ribeirasacra #mencía
