Cesar Marquez Valtuille Mencia 2023

From parcels in the heart of the Valtuille valley, this was only bottled two months ago at the point of tasting but was already very expressive. It oders elegance and great depth and complexity. The palate is fleshy with a firm grip, showcasing intense red cherry and raspberry fruit accented by subtle licorice. A wine with lots of character that captures the essence of the zone.
