Sort of exactly what I wanted right now. Kinda farm funky, totally spicy and black fruited with notes of smoked meat, paprika, burnt rosemary. Really soft on the palate with pure fruit and nice acidity on a long finish. Yum.

Bright red cherry, raspberry, gravel, leather / dense, savory black fruit on the palate, layers of fruit and herbs / vibrant acidity and great structure. Killer

Heady nose of blackberries, jammy purple fruit, brambly and peppery aromas, and then surprisingly lifted on the palate. Sappy with a uniquely Spanish garrigue quality. Refined in its structure and reminiscent of cru Beaujolais in the realm of brouilly or moulin a vent... but at 15 years ago prices. Such a generous wine! Plenty of freshness, spice and raw pleasure to spare.

Soft velvety tannins, elegant, herbal, earthy. This was very good although I’m not sure I see this producer as the bearded wine messiah that some make him out to be. Maybe I just need to taste through the whole range to really understand all the gushing. @Pooneet Kant we meet again in the reviews lol

This elegant, 100% Mencía bottling from the Raul Pérez ancestral home, displays highly perfumed cherry, floral and spice character, with velvety textures and an intriguing hint of gaminess. Delicious now, it will reward at least a few more years patience. $24.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, January 2021)
