  April 30, 2024 - It’s a nice wine. Aromatically it is like syrah but more floral. Violets, pepper, saddle, blackberry, oak. Texturally it is much more delicate, closer to Beaujolais. It tastes tired at this age, lacking brightness. It is not an ageworthy wine.

  September 1, 2023 - Big nose, you can definitely tell it’s 14.5%. Flint, dark berries, but pretty shy. Super low acid up front but then ramps up toward the finish. Black cherry and tar, lots of chalky tannins. Not my favorite but not bad either.

  February 5, 2023 - Medium(+) ruby, viscous @14.5% abc. Aromas of dried red fruit, sous bois, clove. Dry, medium(+) acidity, medium (-)-medium tannin, high alcohol and medium(+) body. A fruit-driven attack, cherry, plum red berry pie. Good length, balanced leading to bittersweet finish. Not.subtle, and well crafted
  Nice, made to go with hearty dishes.

  November 27, 2022 - Granate cubierto con ribete violáceo. Nariz más clásica, madura, fruta pasa, fruta roja en sazón, cierta mineralidad, tinta china. En boca el ataque es bueno, cuerpo medio, tanino muy intenso, bastante frescura, textura terrosa (cacao en polvo), fresco, estructurado y persistente.

  March 11, 2020 - Deep ruby red, almost opaque, with purple red brim. Nose is intense, fruity, rich with notes of bramble, dark cherries, blueberries, a touch of vanilla, mocha and licorice. Mouthfeel is opulent, full bodied, fruity, warm, with prominent but smooth tannins, nice acidity and good balance, with notes of dark cherries, bramble, blueberries, some coffee and dark chocolate.
  
  This is a rich and powerful mencía which will be an excellent match with a good piece of meat from the barbeque.
