Las Gundiñas Lomas de Valtuille Bierzo Mencia 2020

Had some of the green notes that reminded me of Côt in Loire, taught but still elegant, needed some air, this bottle didn’t have a ton of fruit and I wondered if others might have a bit more. — 4 days ago

Bastion de la Luna Tintos de Mar Rias Baixas Red Blend 2017

Blend of equal amounts of local red grapes; Caino, Espadeiro and Loueiro, Ruby red color with aromas of red fruits, herb, floral and cigar box notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with tobacco, oak and garden herbs. Medium+ finish, chalky tannins, savory, ending with herbs, spice, cedar and slight fruit, savory. Nice, will continue to age. — 18 days ago

Unculín Bierzo Mencia 2019

Ripe blackberry and black cherry, powerful without being heavy on the palate, tart black cherry, a little black pepper bite, and lingering gravelly tannins.

La Vizcaina El Rapolao Bierzo Mencía 2020

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2020 pours a deep ruby purple with a near opaque core and a magenta rim; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is youthful with notes of Montmorency cherry, tart plums, licorice, purple flowers, cocoa, and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Tasty stuff and a very nice pairing with braised short rib. Drink now through 2040. — 2 months ago
