Mediocre and flabby on opening but now 5 day later way more balanced and refined. ‘Spanish Pinot’ with mocha chocolate and candied cherries. — 17 days ago

Valtuille Cepas Centenarias Bierzo Mencia 2020

Austere yet so elegant. And still so very young. Needs time!
Enticing nose with violets, orange zest, dark cherry, wet slate, smoke, roast, raw beef, cloves & allspice. Evolves as it opens up.
Pure & vibrant on the palate. With fresh, juicy acidity, cool freshness & mineral depth. The tannins are amazing - so polished, finely grained, juicy. Poised, elegant, and yet uncompromising. A beauty & will get even better with some age! Wow!

Ultreia Saint Jacques Mencía

A nice example of a fairly obscure varietal. It worked better with my tuna entrée than with Bonnie’s rack of lamb. I think it needs a bit more aging. — 7 days ago
