Med red color with a fair amount of color from rim to center. On nose, strawberry, cherry, earth, and herbs. On palate, medium body, medium acidity/tannins and long finish. Flavor profile of red currants, strawberry, and stone. Reminds me of a nice cru Beaujolais. Best of 3 bottles to date. while I would not buy again, a nice mid-week wine. 90+/-

Didn't take notes. While I would rate similarly to my '18 note (90), I feel like it was a more complete wine. Not a re-buy, but good mid-week wine. 90

Light body, not much there. Light on fruit, a little earth and licorice. No mid palette. Drinkable but not satisfying.

2016 vintage

Similar to first note, with some extra herbs and complexity. Great PQR

2016 vintage

Light body, not interesting

2016 vintage

A nice bottle of wine for the price. Fresh and drinkable but also has good complexity. Would satisfy a lot of palates I think.

Très impressionné par cet assemblage réussi. Fait partie de cette nouvelle vague de vin espagnols sur le fruit, très secs, pas trop tanniques et avec un boisé subtile. Très beau nez de fruits rouges, bouche large et longue et très belle finale. Une gorgée en appelle une autre avec ce vin glou-glou.

A blend of old-vine Mencía (85%) with local varieties (Alicante Bouschet, Brancellao, Caiño, Merenzao, Mouratón and Sousón) rounding out the remainder. Fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in open-top fermentors, macerated with the skins for 40 days. Half of the wine is aged for 7 months in old oak foudres and then for another 4 months in used 225-liter barriques and 500-liter demi-muids, the other half is aged for 7 months in old barriques and demi-muids and then for another 4 …

Needed an hour to open up. Bouquet of sour cherries and quite crisp, reminding of a Morgon from Beaujolais with some meaty iron notes. Medium bodied with good persistence. At 16€ it’s a good value.

Nose: The nose is well balanced and savory with sour red cherries, violets, herbs, raspberries, tobacco, leather, and potpourri. Taste: Medium bodied with tart, medium+ acidity and youthful medium+ tannins. The feel is balanced with a savory take to the tones of violets, sour red cherries, raspberries, leather, and potpourri. Overall: This shows off a more savory and herbal take to Mencia as opposed to Bierzo. This is extremely enjoyable and I would love to see where this goes with …

** (very close to 3 stars) Light body, on the acid side but still elegantly balanced. Tannins not noticeable. Herbal and savory notes blend with the fruit to form a subtly interesting flavor. A bit softer and more subdued but no less interesting than the Ribeiro recently drunk. A combination of lightness and power, is this the Burgundy of Spain?

2016 vintage

Not as fruity as some other Mencias and with a distinctive smokey taste. There is also some violet and some pine/dried thyme on the finish. A fine wine, but it seemed a little flat (should it have been consumed earlier?). I did like it a bit better on day 2, at a slightly cooler temperature and from the Oregon Pinot Noir glass. I had high hopes for this and it was a good wine, but the Decima was definitely the …

Saftig med høy konsentrasjon, ren, svartbær, rødbær, tobakk. Mineraler. Lang! Fantastisk kjøp. 91

2016 vintage

Quite light bodied, nice fruit and light oak profile but no finish.

2016 vintage

By the glass at restaurant. Opaque dark red purple. Low key rich mesmerizing smoky black fruit black pepper. Low acidity soft lush black fruit not very complex oak but not a lot of heat on finish with med/med- tannins. Not very structured, nice nose.

2016 vintage

Very fresh kicking aromas of red cherry and celery seed. Bitter floral notes up front. Very, very nice.

2016 vintage

Definitely a wine to my taste: strong acidity, with cherry, clay, incense, and damask rose as well as non-negligible tannins that balance it out.

2016 vintage

Moestue’s book launch of «The New Vignerons» (Grand Cafe, Oslo) : Blend of 85% Mencia, 4% Caino Tinto (Borracal), 3% Merenzao (Trousseau), 3% Brancellao (Alvarelhao), 3% Souson, 2% Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet). Nose: Fantastic nose; berries, fruits, perfumed and flowery. Taste: Great structure, fruit and concentration. Some new oak.

Drank over 2 nights. Needed air. Medium red color with no sediment. Cherry, tart cherry, earth/mineral on nose. Tart cherry (fruit primary) on palate. Medium body/acids/tannins with a medium+ finish. 90+/- Not a re-buy. Very "Cru Beaujolais" like on night 1 (not a bad thing). I enjoyed this but QPR is not great. It should improve with age and the note above was on night 2.

2016 vintage

Lots of celery seed aroma, marries nicely with delicate floral notes.

2016 vintage

super acidity, fresh and silky fruit palate. Well placed floral aroma and light black pepper on the finish. 85% Mencia with Mouraton, Merenzao, etc..

2016 vintage

The Soils of Spain - Spanish Terroir (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street) : Slight reductive, earthy, mineral, cherry and a bit of barnyard. Silky tannins against muted cherry, slight farmyard. Hmm.

Russk. Drank at Nui Kitchen in Downtown Miami. Could be mistaken for a Samur from Loire. Ok nose, maybe too young. Nice juicy savory mouth. Medium bodied. Food wine. Try again.

2016 vintage

A private lunch (Restaurant Brat, Shoreditch, London, UK) : Fresh and floral and juicy, hint of yogurt, low tannins, develops a certain chocolatey depth with some oxygen. A simple delight.
