Beautiful: floral, herbal, and pure red fruits. Very good example of Mencía (90%, with 10% other grapes inc. Garnacha).

Pretty wound up and tight.
Bright fruit and acid. Kind of burly actually.

Rustic in its wild fruit, earth and herbal flavor profile, but not as much texturally--has the creaminess and polish (and a hint of dill) from oak barrel ageing. Wanted a bit more finesse and dynamic range of flavors but solid

Mulberry, blueberry compote, white pepper, game, violets, balsamic, sun dried tomatoes, rust, dried mint. Rounded acid/minimal smooth velvet tannin balance, medium bodied, juicy-silky texture, long fruity-floral finish. Gamay-like in aromatics, fruit forward midpalate with enough structure to handle red meats while not overpowering seafood or white meats. Quaffable in its youth, gains texture and finesse with age.

Earthy and herbal notes in the nose, black currant and a bit of mint. rich but not too fullbodied in the mouth, very pleasant acidity and a very well-balanced tannin structure.
