88pts Wine & Spirits Magazine– 2012 vintage

“This well-priced Bierzo has everything you could ask for from mencia – the flavors of
cherries and berries, the soft texture and the juiciness of the grape.”

88pts International Wine Cellar– 2012 vintage

“Bright ruby-red. Spicy, high-pitched aromas of raspberry, candied rose and smoky
minerals. Tangy and precise, offering energetic raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a
hint of white pepper. The floral quality repeats on the finish, which is firmed by dusty,
fine-grained tannins.”
