My favorite in the current portfolio is the 2010 Tares P3, very old Mencía from mountain vineyards in the village of Valtuille de Arriba which fermented in a French oak vat and two 600-liter rotating vats and aged for 15 months in brand new French oak barrels. It has a fragrant nose combining aromas of violets and wild berries with plenty of spices and hints of smoke, coming through as poised and approachable. The palate shows well-integrated oak flavors intermixed with the fruit and certain austerity, but with a finish where the dry tannins make an appearance that detracts from its drinkability. Some vintages and especial grapes can take this new oak treatment, but not many. Enjoy with powerful food or give it some more bottle time. 3,000 bottles.
