QPR alert! Wanted lots of air but slowly opened up with black pepper, wild raspberry, earth, and herbs with fine grained tannins.
Pretty epic Mencia for sub $20 on the shelf. — 9 months ago

I was hoping for a bit more. Earthy. Interesting, but very subtle fruit notes. Never really blossomed. — 3 years ago

From magnum. The age has done this bottle good with honey and brioche on the nose. The palate has citrus, pear, baked apples, and toast. Really fun sipper for a holiday party that doesn’t break the bank. — 2 years ago

I’m surprised at the low score for this one. It had a wonderfully “natural” aroma, kind of reminded me of LDH, and solidly interesting flavors reminding me of some of the more fascinating Italian wines I’ve had. It had lots of tannin but it didn’t have much length. Thanks Jason! — 4 years ago

Best with 13 days of Slow Decanting

Project created by Daniel Landi and Fernando Garcia in the Gredos Mountains. G for grenache. This wine is the product of biodynamic farming of 60 year old vines on granite slopes at 950 meters elevation. I loved this on release and now I want to check in on it’s progress

DAY1
Served with the Vinloq System
Great things on the nose but the palate was mostly closed up. Strawberries, tar, acid, tannins…

Let the remaining wine Slow Decant in my fridge

Day13
👃Red, lightly candied fruit with anise & mushroom broth. Violets and brambles. Lovely perfume. Gevrey-Chambertin?
👅Fruit, licorice tar, violets. Silky. Acid and tannins feel electric on my tongue. Earthy, savory, and persistent finish. Beautiful. Great nuance

Slow Decanting made a big difference. This just needs bottle age to further resolve the tannins and this will be stellar✨

A ridiculous value at purchase, word has quickly spread and now these are hard to find. But worth the effort 🍷
