87 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate June 2011):
“Pazo das Tapias’ red offering, the 2009 Alma de Tinto Mencia, offers up a fruity nose suggestive of Beaujolais-like carbonic maceration. Earthy minerals, cinnamon, clove, and black raspberry aromas lead to an easygoing, crowd-pleaser of a wine that is a very good value that will provide enjoyment for another 2-3 years. (Jun 2011)”
