A beautifully crafted complex wine. 3 different harvests (2007, 2010, 2011) to make three grapes blossom in the casks. Velvety on the palate with clear tannin but yet has loads of freshness from the petit Verdot. Must drink with strong flavorful dishes. Gorgeous wine! — 8 years ago

Acidic, round and light. To go with Galician home foods: caldo, callos, octopus. It's a delicate and improved version of those 'house wines' we all had from an uncle as kids. — 9 years ago

Great selection for Jun Sakamoto.

Wine using very traditional Portuguese grapes: deep with presence, a bit rough around the edges but with plenty of personality. Still fresh enough, young. Best enjoyed with flavorful tapas or meats. — 9 years ago

Wonderful balance. Merlot and Tempranillo counterweight the heavy Tanat. Still, a meaty wine for read meats. Velvety and round tho. Some blackberries and forest fruits - little tanine. — 9 years ago

Really interesting Galician "new read", extremely well rounded with the right woody undertones for a crianza, without losing the intrinsic fresh fruit feel of most Mencías. — 9 years ago

Too brute, too harsh, reminds me of all the cheap wines I had in adolescence: harsh on tannin trying to compensate for true character. Going back jokes from those years, I'd say it can only be recommended to a mother-in-law. — 9 years ago

The Rias Baixas Albariño with most character we have produced yet. The minerality and saltiness adds a depth to the classic fruity acidity and flowery tones of the region. Best drunk slightly "warm" 10-12C, as opposed to the recommended temperature for other regional wines (4-6C). Think of a stormy autumn night off the Rias Baixas coast, you'll feel the saltiness and sharp pine citrus of the maresía, the minerals of the earth and the chill in your bones. — 9 years ago
