Ultreia De Valtuille Bierzo Mencía
Still a baby but silky smooth and balanced on the palate.

May 21st, 2021Although this wine has gained in complexity and depth over the years, I still can’t get passed its Pinot-ey character...
So, to me, this is a well-made wine, which is food for thought... not for the heart.

#2012 notes of menthol, sage, earth, black tea, orange peel, sneaky fruit undertones, choppy tannins, high acid. Very nice wine

Apr 22nd, 2015Fresh, ripe red and black cherry, red plum, red flower, fresh herbs with hints of vanilla. Medium-bodied, very smooth, fine tannins and fresh acidity. Great balance. Lovely wine.

May 12th, 2014A little bitty (very big) baby and unhappy to be awakened so soon. No reference for where this might go with time... A question mark. Well made but not much fun today. Ponderous and opaque.
