Needs to open, but a complex example of Tempranillo. Fruit comes through, but filtered through oak and vanilla. — 9 years ago

Nose: fig and Asphalt and earth
Taste: candid walnut up front? plum and berry, very fruit forward in the middle. Finishes spicy! Love the prickling sensation as the berry fades.

A foolproof supermarket wine. Really delicious, especially seeing as so many bottles of this are made! Very nice. — 4 months ago
Drinking the 2019 in late 2024. Deep rich color. Thin legs that quickly disappear. Light bouquet, lots of fruit notes. Smooth on the palette with light tannins and a slightly sweet finish. Nice wine! — 5 months ago
Peaking right now, don’t wait: amber bricking on edge, black & red fruit - deep reservoir of ripe intense aromas & flavors, baking spices, worn leather, licorice, mineral - so expressive, massive on palate, beautifully balanced, tamed from so many years in bottle. Perfect accompaniment to my Saturday night T-Bone — 7 months ago

Always fun to explore an indigenous varietal from Spain - especially when Alvaro Palacios is involved. I found this Mencia wine to be medium bodied with good acidity and structured tannins that were present in this young wine but not obnoxiously so. The fruit is darker dried red fruit that proved to be a good compliment with grilled shishito peppers. It was so nice to dive into a new aspect of Spain’s wine history. — 3 months ago
