2012 La Vizcaina - El Rapolao from Raúl Perez. An incredible wine; black pepper, incredible freshness, beautiful lift, almost dancing on the nose. The body is all elegance and freshness, while at the same time feeling plush. Very fine grained tannins. A balanced work of art. — 12 years ago
From the days where Raul Perez still made a 100% pinot noir. In the more recent years of this wine he always uses Mencia in a blend with Pinot. Only 526 bottles made and one of the very few Pinot Noirs from Spain. This is nice but is slightly sharper + has more acidity then Burgundy pinots. Nevertheless a great discovery. — 9 years ago

My first Raul Perez wine- def won't be the last. Just explodes right out of the gate- crazy nose of pomegranate, black raspberry, black pepper, some damp soil and just delicious. Buoyant and energetic with soft tannins and truly mouthwatering acid- not just pucker but actually make you want another sip. Really good stuff. Also, mencia with some souson, not what delectable says — 8 years ago
