Finally fully mature, with resolved tannins, bright aciditiy, and an outgoing, brilliant bouquet of mineral, rose petal, and cherry. Gentle power on the palate, lingering and vibrant finish. Clean and focused, and at peak. Drink now and over the next few years.

Surprisingly youthful and feel no where near it's peak. Fat and creamy texture and lots of tannins. Dark cherries and plums on the fruity side. But quite an overwhelming acidic side to it.

A really good bottle. The wine has finally started to develop some nuance, and shows great depth and balance. Stony and juicy, still quite youthful, but probably not too far from maturity, and drinking nicely right now. A definite hit in a blind tasting.

Tobacco leaf and mineral, very bright acidity and a strong sense of earth. Mouthfeel is all pomegranate. Very good intensity, refinement.

Very good mencia. Retail price is absurd, as is heavily discounted price. 3 on the AF scale.
