  Really nice on day two which is surprising for an under twenty dollar bottle of wine.

  Culpable...brought it to a friends and everyone loved the change of pace/style (big cab drinkers). Some nice dark fruit. Not a ton of structure but simple and delicious.

  Forgot to take tasting notes. Less varietal character and more international than other inexpensive Mencía I’ve had, less fresh. It did go well with spicy meat sauce pasta. Decent wine for the price but won’t be a repeat purchase. 5-5.5/10
