I enjoyed the wine and think it's a very nice value for someone looking for something out of the ordinary. I'll be on the lookout for more of you wines. Cheers! Thanks for the comment, Louis.

This wine prentends to be a wine loyal to its region, climate and grape it produces (=terroir). At the same time it should have character, complexity, certain finesse but above all deliver pleasure of drinking. I love to see different comments. I guess this come with character. Also I see that most of the comments and flavors picked up are very much of the Mencia. The rgape has lots of "material" ie a bit of oxygen does not hurt. Thanks and we´ll keep you feeding with great wines. Lous Geirnaerdt Gents,

My B- is more like a 87-88, I guess. But that's why I don't use the 100-pt scale: false precision. I wasn't too surprised by the CellarTracker scores (I included mean and median because there was one guy who rated it a 70) - this is a style of wine that some people just don't like. That leaves more for me! Cheers. Jay Miller’s 90 seems a little high to me. My B- is more like a 87-88, I guess. But that’s why I don’t use the 100-pt scale: false precision.

Looks like the reviewers on Cellar Tracker are not quite in agreement. I love the video!
