Just love this wine, just tried ‘18! Nice blend of grapes from the Bierzo Valley, the ‘18 has about 4% of perfectly ripe white grapes, 6% less than ‘17. Deep Ruby with loads of Berry fruits aromas adding some sweet floral spice and flinty notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry with a juicy mineral edge. Well balanced and integrated with fine smooth tannins, lively acidity and a long finish ending with oak and spicy notes. Tremendous value for such a complex wine.

Mediocre and flabby on opening but now 5 day later way more balanced and refined. ‘Spanish Pinot’ with mocha chocolate and candied cherries.

Mencia 💪🏻... Earthy and aromatic mid-weight medium acidity with mild tannins and earthy fruity wine. Raspberry, blackberry, candied cherry and eucalyptus, with a nice mineral layer. Harmonious and easy to pair with pretty much anything, it is a great value for any discerning palate out there...
