Probably better a year or two younger. Still good, but—at least my bottle—I felt like I was drinking leftovers of a delicious bottle on the second day.

Cherry, orange peel, and cranberry waft from the glass. Soft and full of fruit it lingers on the palate for a long time. Stuck the cork back in and drank the 2nd half on day two and it was even better. Beautiful wine. Drink or hold - but hard to resist as it is so nice.

92+ My first bottle of a selection of Envinate wines I bought a few years ago, when they were all the rage. I managed to keep my hands off them until I felt that they were actually ready, and not get carried away by the hype!
Sadly, I drank it without making any notes. I remember a wine of complexity, purity and balance, that was just getting into its stride. Mencia is a special variety.

Idem à la dernière, un peu pointu et acide, mais après une bonne heure d'aération, l'équilibre y est et c'est tout à fait appréciable, sur une minéralité (volcanique?) et très bien fait.
