    July 12, 2022 - Wow...tasted alongside the 2014 Rapolao and Gundinas. They were both delicious but this was next level. Depth, vibrant, tannins integrated leading to a roundness which was packed with red delicious fruit. Bursting with flavor. Still very primary so I would say has plenty of time left. No rush to drink. Last note was, Wow just Wow.

    August 24, 2019 - Pretty rough on the palate, with sharp acids and and some real angular flavors. Kind of a bummer given that some of these we've had have been totally stellar. In general, mencia confuses me; seems to be a very up and down grape, with lots of volatility regardless of the price point.

    November 21, 2018 - We've had a lot of these with heat damage, but this bottle was perfect, and delicious. Dense, brooding, lovely, long, and complicated. Excellent qpr, that is, if it arrives undamaged.

    March 2, 2018 - Crimson. Cherry pepper nose. Very much pepper at the first taste, nicely balanced. Drink now, with cherry red fruits, light spice (other than pepper) and tea.

    December 25, 2017 - Dominated by an overpowering balsamic note. Not to my liking.
