  June 24, 2018 - Really surprisingly good for the age, almost a hint of Burgundy...

  March 10, 2014 - vin correct, mais pas un coup de coeur, bon. Discret au départ, puis les épices resortent, avec un versant austère, acidité présente, petit fruit rouge. Fort tannins. Vin ok, mais ne pas nécessairement racheter.

  August 22, 2013 - Rich, assertive nose right out of the bottle; not at all tight. The nose is savory and redolent of dried herbs, especially oregano, and has hints of cured meat. The attack is intense and viscous with a mouth coating quality that loosens up as the wine gets more air. Sour plum and oil cured olive through the mid-palate with the former dominating. Right out of the bottle the mid-palate has a lumbering, bull-in-a-china-shop quality that mellows nicely with time in the glass. The plum and olive carry through into the finish accompanied by a hint of pencil shavings; here's where the tannins really assert themselves. Interesting, complex wine. Mencía definitely deserves more attention than it gets.

  May 27, 2013 - Similitude au nez avec des vins de l'appellation Cheverny (épicé+, petits fruits rouge).
  Étrangement, la bouche rappelle celle des Pinot néo-zélandais, un peu fuyante
  Un vin de soif, très souple, à boire avec des charcuteries, etc.
  Je me questionne sur ce qui a tant plu à MAG.
