Enrique Mendoza La Tremenda 2021 750ml Spain

Enrique Mendoza La Tremenda 2021 750ml SpainWine Advocate 88 91 "The red 2021 La Tremenda feels a bit reductive and oaky, but it's not yet bottled. It's primary and has good ripeness at 14% alcohol but feels light and fresh, with a medium body and fine tannins. Give it some time, a few months would do it good. It matured in used 500 liter oak barrels for six months."
