Too young. Only started to open up after a few hours. Disappointing at first but this has some potential. Definitely put it away in the cellar for 5-10 years. — 7 years ago
The ugliest label in memory--Las Vegas meets Depardieu in a back alley- belies a velvety, balanced& juicy bierzo. This is all about texture. — 7 years ago

A rich complex intriguing wine. Dark fruit, nut and pepper. Tannins but not too much. Really amazing value, and for 7 years old still tastes incredibly vibrant. — 9 years ago

Loved the spiciness of this Spanish beauty. The Garnacha exploded on the finish the first night. Stuck the cork in it over night and it was even better the second night. — 5 years ago
Soft nose of Indian spices, beef jerky, and dark purple flowers. Upon tasting there is a flash in the pan sensation of Northern Rhone Syrah that continues into a black and blue showcase of perfectly ripe fruit. Lavender is there, violets are there, and also a touch of dried clove. The finish is long with a beautiful continuation of everything that's mentioned above. This is an absolutely stunning expression of Mencia. — 7 years ago

Great balance between white pepper and minerality. A little too light for bbq but great for 2+ glasses with a full moon out tonight. 2012 Ribiera Sacra - Pena do Lobo. Nevermind the thirsty monkey #riberasacra #redwine #red #spain — 9 years ago
They make a fantastic wine with a lot of personality. This is an exemplar of what Bierzo can really be. Truffled, elegant, but not stuffy. — 10 years ago

Notes of dark red fruit, earth, and spice. Light body and medium acidity with smooth tannins. A relatively simple, but pleasant wine. Excellent value at $16. Purchased at Brooklyn Wine Exchange in Brooklyn, NY. — 3 years ago
