Mark Gapinski Recommends This Wine:

It is early days in Bierzo’s move to rank vineyards in the way Burgundy does. Las Lamas, located near the village of Corullon, would equate to a 1er cru vineyard. This spectacular Mencia expresses its place of origin beautifully. Medium-bodied and featuring bright red fruit flavors, the acidity, fruit, and tannins are beautifully integrated. Clearly, it's a step up from the village level Corullon bottling.

Wine Advocate: 97 Points

The grapes used for the 2019 Las Lamas come from a selection of 1.75 hectares they own in the paraje in the village of Corullón, not far from the winery that gives this wine its name. This is a south-facing location with a tendency to good ripeness and generous wines. It fermented in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in a combination of oak barrels and foudres for eight months. This is the prototype of a wine from clay-rich soils; it's round and vinous, refreshed by the altitude and the slate. This is more lactic than the Moncerbal, very classical, and with fine but grainy tannins. —LG

James Suckling: 96 Points

This is very structured and long, with fantastic tannin intensity and balance. It’s very long – almost endless. Medium to full body. Goes on for minutes. Tight at the end. Lots of energy and focus. Needs four or five years to come together.

Wine Spectator: 93 Points

A fresh, harmonious red, deftly layering fine, plush tannins and lightly mouthwatering acidity with black plum reduction, Earl Grey tea, cedar, and a subtle streak of minerally stone and smoke. Long and creamy on the spiced finish. —AN
