2020 Guimaro - Mencia Ribeira Sacra Finca Pombeiras (750ml)
97+ Points
"I had the chance to compare the 2020 Finca Pombeiras with the 2019, just like I did with the other three single-vineyard bottlings. This is from a plot planted with the classical field blend found in the old vineyards, mainly Mencía with a myriad of other varieties—Caíño, Sousón, Brancellao, Merenzao, Negreda, Garnacha, Mouratón... The full clusters fermented with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in 225- and 500-liter oak barrels for one year. This is explosive with a baroque, exotic and decadent nose redolent of flowers, soy sauce, violet pastille, spices and herbs. It's a little spirity (it's 14.2% alcohol), which probably adds to the showy profile. The palate is a little more backward—it's structured and has abundant, fine tannins, still a little hard. 800 bottles produced. This was bottled a couple of weeks before I tasted it in February 2022."
