Well well well, isn’t that something! Envinate Lousas Vinos de Aldea. Give it some time in the glass to unwind and expose its inner complexity, a vibrant red fruit profile, lavender and capsicum is accompanied by a pronounced savoriness with crushed rocks, soil and white pepper. A fresh spine runs through the palate with solid but fine grained grip from the tannins. Ribeira Sacra. Mostly Mencia with some other stuff thrown in (field blend), whole cluster ferment in cement tank followed by elevage in neutral barrel. A privilege to have these unicorn wines available! — 5 years ago

Excellent #wine very #riberadelduero meets #bordeaux #france meets #spain deep color and very blueberry and violet nose. Very expressive and fine. The texture ont the palate is excuisite and the wine is very enjoyable. Many sensations of a good cognac, maybe better for red meats or on its own. Huge. — 9 years ago

This was the rose, not merlot. One of the best roses I've ever had; this was not too sweet, and had a depth you rarely find in roses that don't cost a fortune. Lovely! — 9 years ago
