Slow-oxed for two hours. Nice ruby colour showing some development. Nose a bit simple, raspberry. Healthy lively juice, quite tannic, a bit all over the place. Decide to decant.
After decant, youngish fruit-driven profile. Intense mouthfull and very long finish. Way too young. I have two more bottles, I'll let them sit for at least two more years.

Discrete nose with dark cherry, spices and some underbrush. On the palate dense fruit, good acidity and tannic grid to support it. Some of heat on the finish. I am not a Mencia grape specialist, but I find this wine tastes like a Cote du Rhone / CdP blend from a cooler vintage. Solid, but nothing to write home about.

Pretty reserved on the nose, pretty dark fruit, mocca. A bit disappointing. Better in the mouth, good balance, just missing the wow effect after I loved their basic wine.

No formal note, great nose of red fruit and the palate has the right kind of structure to deliver a solid mouthfeel.
