Very Good+ With Mencía it often pays to wait, even with a sub-$15 USD bottle like this. Even though it shows dark fruits and depth, it is still easy on the palate, easy to keep drinking, and food friendly, going with several mixed dishes including Chickpeas and Chorizo and seasoned canned mackerel.

It’s developed quite well. Not quite ripe cherry, raspberry, and herbal aspects laid over still strong tannins. Really pretty nicely structured. Medium finish.

Fruity and earthy at the same time. On the weighty side of Mencia. Still tannic and young -- years to go on this one.

Dark fruit and graphite. Tannic. Would benefit from sitting longer.

Very nice, good fruit, easy tannins, really enjoyed, with chicken bouillabaisse, with lot’s of saffron. More enjoyable than the Finca la Cuesta.
