A completely different aromatic profile is present here with its fresh and cooler dark berry fruit scents that are liberally sprinkled with notes of wild flower and the sauvage

A mildly reduced nose still seems both fresh and ripe thanks to the excellent vibrancy of the nicely concentrated and tautly muscular flavors that possess a beguiling underlying tension that carries over to the youthfully austere and sneaky long finish

airy and agreeably elegant aromas of spiced pear

The recent editions have been nothing short of spectacular

Raul Perez, Bierzo Penitencia Vintage:2015 A completely different aromatic profileGrown within the DO zone of Ribeira Sacra, not far from Bierzo, but bottled without reference to the DO, this wine is a blend of mostly Menca with Caio and Bastardo, aged in used 500l French barrels It's completely different to Perez's El Rapolao, showing lovely cassis and floral aromas with an intense, finely grained structure in the mouth. It has a restraint on the finish which gives the tension that's sometimes referred to as minerality.
