Castro Ventosa Bierzo Mencia 2023

From the master, Raul Perez with fruit sourced from his family estate, the Joven (rabbit label) is predominately Mencia from 40-60 year old vines and aged in INOX.

Splash decanted directly before service; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2023 pours a deep purple color with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of blackberries, Montmorency cherry, horse blanket, purple flowers, licorice, and crushed rock. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Charming, rustic stuff. Drink now through 2030.

Valtuille Cepas Centenarias Bierzo Mencia 2010

Too young. Only started to open up after a few hours. Disappointing at first but this has some potential. Definitely put it away in the cellar for 5-10 years. — 9 years ago

Pelada Dão Touriga Nacional 2018

Nose is classic Touriga National violets, cherry liqueur, and earthy crushed stone. Soft and mouthfilling, it’s intensely minerally on the palate, with enough dark cherry extract fruit to keep it from being too one-dimensional. Tannins are super-soft, and there is abundant acidity.

UPDATE. A few hours later interesting notes of cinnamon are emerging.

Just tasted this with Olé & Obrigado in NYC last week. Beautiful wine. The Carrocel is also not to be missed.

Castro Candaz

Finca El Curvado Ribeira Sacra Mencía 2015

Сочная вишня с черенком, микс чёрной и красной смородины, в развитии мятая малина и ежевика, лавр, мята, тертые зеленые листья, марганцовка, влажный камень, мокрая земля, легкий животный тон. Среднее, подвижное тело с сочной, нетяжелой концентрацией, поющей кислотностью и мягкими, но ещё чуть контрастными из-за молодости танинами. Живо, натурально, интенсивно и свежо. — 8 years ago
