Enjoyable wine from Bierzo in the northwest of León, not far from Galicia. 95% Mencia. We decanted it for an hour and paired it with burritos and it paired well. Not particularly complex, but delicious with dark cherries, and some black pepper on the palate, along with smooth tannins.

Very fresh and easy drinking, notes of red fruit and plum with some light pepper. Not much oak here compared to a typical rjoja reserve. Overall it’s fairly similiar to a Pinot or Beaujolais- very silky tannins.

Needs 30-60 mins aeration, has decently oaked chewy refreshing red fruits and good length.13.5%. Drink now or lay down a couple of years.

Dry, dark fruit, tannins and slightly spicy. Good wine.

Vínsmakk á vegum viðskiptaskrifstofu spænska sendiráðsins (Harpa, Háuloft.): Nú að RJC borðinu. Petalos hefur ekki fengist hér í nokkurn tíma, sem er synd. Þetta er virkilega gott vín. Við sáum það á borðinu og ég bað sérstaklega um að fá að smakka. Þessi árgangur er fínn. Klassavín. 88-90.
