but it should put on more weight when it reaches adolescence

Raul Perez, Bierzo Penitencia Vintage:2015 but it should put onGrown within the DO zone of Ribeira Sacra, not far from Bierzo, but bottled without reference to the DO, this wine is a blend of mostly Menca with Caio and Bastardo, aged in used 500l French barrels It's completely different to Perez's El Rapolao, showing lovely cassis and floral aromas with an intense, finely grained structure in the mouth. It has a restraint on the finish which gives the tension that's sometimes referred to as minerality.
