"Cuvee Mosterio pays homage to the medieval monastery that anchors the steep mountainside vineyards high above the village of Barco de Valdeorras. The complex fruitiness of the Mencia grape combines with the distinct flinty minerality derived from the granite soils to create a unique wine. Flavors of dark plums and blackberries are accentuated by an exotic spiciness. The luxurious palate is balanced by long tannins on the elegant finish."
"Ruby-red. Explosively perfumed bouquet of fresh blackberry, mocha, smoke and incense. Pliant, expansive dark berry flavors show impressive freshness and energy, picking up dusty tannins with air. Becomes spicier on the back end, with the sweet blackberry and mocha qualities carrying through the very persistent finish. Give this some air if you plan on opening one any time soon." -International wine cellar- 91pts. |
