Actually red Carrasquin Mencia. Recommended by Genova at NM in Oviedo on 5/17/25, to accompany one of best meals ever — indeed good pairing except with dairy dessert. Like high altitude Pinot. — a year ago
Uva Carrasquin 100%. — 6 years ago
A Cangas blend of Carrasquín and Verdejo Negro from old vines on steep slate slopes. Stashed in new and 2nd use French oak for under a year, for a total of 2000 bottles. This is like a cool climate Priorat - dark fruit and slate, firm acid, light tannins and only 13.5%!
Still very young at 3 years, but cellaring will only improve it. — 10 years ago
Sophisticated and straightforward, this blend has notes of berry and vanilla that have mellowed and deepened in the decade since it was bottled. Would be an excellent complement to hearty fare. If you can find the olive oil produced on the same estate, include it in your meal for a complete terroir experience. This bottle was produced in 2005 and was signed by the Dayton, Ohio, doctor who owns the operation. — 11 years ago
