Ultreia De Valtuille Bierzo Mencía

2010.

2011. Fruit forward, tasty.

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

2017

Mencia grape from Spain. Decanted.

We have one or 2 left; and I hope each shows as well; teeth staining, palate coating black cherry and raspberry wonder that left us fighting over the last drops

Needs at least an hour to open

Tastes like a Bordeaux that is older (it's 2012) and complexer with some Merlot (it's all Mencia).

Blackberry and Pomegranate, silky tannins, lovely balance. Delicious now, will be stellar in 2-3 years.

Vintage 2008

P@P. Very delicate. Nose better than the palate. Reminds me of a spatburgunder. Improves by the glass...
