  Had over three days and this wine is positively singing at this time. Completely composed, acid lending the the fruit a nice juiciness and tannins give a nice structure to the body, as well good length on the finish.
  In a stellar window. Drink now and over another year or two.

  I'm pretty new to Mencia grapes and this wine was an eye opener. Violets, cement dust, rosemary, balsamic vinegar, ginger and earth. Great depth of flavor, dark fruits with high acidity and chalky tannins. I'm thinking I would pair this with duck confit or pork molé. I'm ignorant of how correct this wine is but I'm awarding it 92 pts. for its electricity. Plenty of stuffing to drink or hold.

  Day 4
  Dark, rich and brooding. This definitely falls on the darker complected side of Mencia. We’re 7 years on and the wine is still quite composed with savory and herbal notes to play against the black cherries and plums, while the tannins are a little on the rough side, the acid just tows the line through the finish.
  Nice. Drink now and over, perhaps, two years.

  This bottle was not as good as the others. Hopefully a one off

  Some pencil lead, mushroom, bramble, and dark berries. Coiled, yet a pulsating vibrancy underneath. Balanced, rustic at times.. Gives this a few years. recommended
