NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Raúl Pérez Ultreia Petra Mencía displays an intense ruby red color in the glass.On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberry, leather, licorice and anise are present. On the palate, the wine is rich and juicy, with round tannins and a long, persistent finish. Flavors of dark berries, cocoa, earth and a hint of black pepper linger on the finish. This is a well-made, complex, and delicious wine that should cellar for at least another five years.
