  November 21, 2014 - Somewhat disappointing for the top wine of this bodega whose Mengoba white I found wonderful. Maybe an off bottle? Sort of peppery, dusty, even metallic nose. Much nicer in the mouth, with some of the sweet silkiness that mencia seems to have in common with pinot noir.

  July 18, 2014 - Really punchy nose of fresh flowers and sour cherry. The cherry fruit has a little creaminess up front and some tart volatilty down back, in a most pleasant way I might add. There are mineral and meat notes and the overall package displays good poise and excellent balance. An excellent red wine of great character.

  June 5, 2013 - Bibendum Spanish Tasting: Spice and earth, red cherry and floral notes. A cooler year than the 2009 and I think its a better wine too. Restraint is more evident on the palate and the balance is excellent. Good length and complexity.
