"Finca La Cuesta is so young it's like a brut de cuve. This is a pure Mencia, aged in French oak barrels for a year. It seems to be more complete than the 2013, powerful, with better balance and incipient complexity. The palate is still marked by ageing, but you can feel the intensity and concentration of the vintage, coupled with a lovely acidity that brings good balance to this powerful style. A very promising vintage for Finca La Cuesta. " (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

About the wine:
Finca La Cuesta is so young it's like a brut de cuve. This is a pure Mencia, aged in French oak barrels for a year. It seems to be more complete than the 2013, powerful, with better balance and emerging complexity. The palate is still marked by ageing, but you can feel the intensity and concentration of the vintage, coupled with a lovely acidity that brings good balance to this powerful style. A very promising vintage for Finca La Cuesta.

A dense, concentrated wine that unfortunately doesn't leave a lasting impression...
