Wine with roasted whole chicken part 2: I used to adore Ribera Sacra, & then moved away with the inevitable rise in price & trend towards more modern styles. Not this. A short decant (45-60) to take the wind out of the Brett sails, & we were off: dense, brambly black fruits on nose & palate, with a distant barn door left open on the nose. Medium plus acidity. It’s the length though that impressed me, along with a freshness (at 13%). Evolves in glass, as if the fruit still has layers. Like a really good chinon. At about 28$, a high end QPR. Eric Solomon imp, interestingly enough. — 3 years ago

Tolo do Xisto’s entry level wine, a a collaboration between young Galician winemaker Andrea Obenza and her former oenology professor Toni Coca, of Coca I Fitó. 100% Mencía from vineyards in Vilachá de Salvadur, in Ribeira Sacra. Juicy red fruit on the nose. Tart cherry flavors. Fresh, pure, high acidity. — 4 years ago

Two years later I’m not getting the same feedback. I still enjoy but had more of a sweetness not overpowered.

Best Spanish red I’ve had in a while. Mencia (or Juan in Portugal) great cab franc substitute. — 4 years ago

Opening nose of fresh tart cherry and pomegranate turns to darker ripe fruits, with peppery and earthy undertone while retain the initial rustics character. Medium to full body that carries decent depth of flavors. Tight tannins.
A really good Mencia that I underestimated initially. — 4 years ago

This is a pretty cool take on non-sherry Palomino. It’s a little salty like fino but doesn’t have the flor notes obviously. — 4 years ago

Från riktigt gamla godello-stockar (upp till 90 år) i en karg biodynamisk vingård i Valdeorras subregion Val do Bibei, nära Ribeira Sacra. Burgundisk känsla men med en egen unik smak. Grym koncentration och komplexitet. Sjungande mineralkänsla, citronolja, marsipan, vinteräpple, mynta, anis m.m. Avslutet är evighetslångt. Mkt välgjort vin för pengarna här. — 5 years ago
