95The Wine Advocate

94James Suckling

Love the focus and balance to this wine. Clove, nutmeg and mineral character with blue fruits, too. Medium to full body and ultra-fine grained tannins. Lovely length.

93Vinous / IWC

Suave, highly perfumed scents of dark berry preserves, baking spices, cola and smoky minerals... Appealingly sweet and broad on the palate, offering intense blueberry, cola and violet pastille flavors and an exotic touch of five-spice powder. The spice and floral notes repeat emphatically on an impressively very long, sweet finish, that's framed by well-integrated tannins.

92Wine Spectator

This lively wine has a lovely core of bright black cherry flavors, accented by chocolate, meaty and mineral notes. The tannins are sleek and the acidity is bright. Shows focus and energy.

REGION

Spain, Castilla-Leon, Bierzo

Bierzo is small, with about 9,500 vineyard acres, and centers around the city of Ponferrado. Located on the same northeastern plain as most of Castilla y Léon, it nevertheless enjoys a climate somewhat similar to Galicia, which means that Bierzo gets more rainfall and milder winter weather than other parts of the region. The primary grape here is Mencia, which is thought to be related to Cabernet Franc. Garnacha Tintorera and Cabernet Sauvignon are planted in small amounts. White wines are made from Godello (Verdelho), Malvasia and Doña Blanc and Palomino. Though white wines are produced much less than reds, Godellos are gaining international popularity as full-bodied, floral white wines. The appellation status for Bierzo was awarded in 1989.
