  See WINE_HOARDER, MQUENTEL@WEB.DE, and BRADETTI's reviews.
  
  Low intervention wine. First time trying this grape and learning how to identify these types of wines. Cloudy appearance, funk, and high acidity. Ready to drink now.
  
  Rosella/rose petals, pepper, herbs, a bit of funk. Perhaps a bit sweet too.
  
  This was well made yet I didn't like it.
  
  For the record, I absolutely hate anything rose flavored so this wine was not for me.
  
  For the Southeast Asians reading this, it tastes like F&N Rose Syrup or Air Bandung...if both of these products were made from grapes instead of god knows what!

  Mencía with 5% of Merenzao, Brancellao and Alicante Bouschet of vineyards of more than 80 years of soils mostly gneis with mica and quartz in the area of Amandi. It fermented with whole clusters and FML in 350 L and 500 L oak barrels, and aged with the lees in barrels for 12 months without transfer. Very aromatic, red fruits, herbaceous notes, smoke, flowers, mineral, spices, spicy, fresh, balanced, elegant, vibrant and tasty. Ready to drink!!!

  After a disappointing experience with this producer's more entry level cuvee, I wasn't expecting much from this bottle. But boy did it deliver. The best I can describe this is if they made mencia wines in beaujolais, except this has a lot more complexity. It's infused with iron notes, meat, and minerality. It almost has an unfiltered texture to it, not thick, but sort of like juice that has a touch of pulp in it. Unique wine, not sure it's worth ~$80 given the light style, but enjoyed nonetheless.

  At PMKLCC. Wax seal. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
  Appearance is clear, medium to deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of flotal violets, purple boysenberries becoming more pure red cherries, rosemary and thyme herbs, stony mineral vein, white pepper. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), very gentle low tannins, medium body. Medium+ intensity, pure sweet red cherries, gentle red plums, bits of purple boysenberry, lovely herbs of rosemary and thyme nuances, salty stones minerality in background, white pepper, very slight hint of natural fermented vegetable. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Impressed.
  95% Mencia and 5% other local varieties like Brancellao and Garnacha Tintorera.
