New review: Bierzo Altos de Losada Viñedos Viejos 2017 #92 pts
Tasting Note
A velvety texture conceals depth and structure in this balanced red. Plum, cocoa, loamy earth and mineral notes mingle over well-integrated tannins. Balsamic acidity keeps this lively.
Drink now through 2027. 3,700 cases made, 750 cases imported.

Losada 2016 del blog Ken’s Wine Guide:
2016 Losada Spanish Red "Losada"
Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good+ (90)
Review date: March 20, 2019
Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Mencia is a very good introduction to this grape. It opens with a black cherry and leather bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and very juicy. The flavor profile a mineral influenced tart plum with notes of black tea. I also detected some hints of wild strawberry and black pepper. The finish is dry and its dusty tannins linger and last for quite some time. I would pair this Mencia with a slow cooked beef brisket.
