Abad 2007 Gotín del Risc Mencía (Bierzo)
- $17
Gaseous, earthy, mossy aromas are not entirely inviting, and the palate is immensely thick and round, with big, grating tannins. But the plum, berry and meaty elements are good, and the finish of chewy tannins goes on for quite some time. An extracted wine with minor balance and aromatic issues.

Abad 2008 Gotín del Risc Red (Bierzo)
- $14
Opens with burnt, rubbery aromas that eventually cede to asphalt, roasted peanut and leather. The palate is soft and a bit hollow in the middle, with earthy, rubbery flavors of black plum and berry. Finishes with cola, bitter coffee and root beer flavors. Decent and full overall, but rubbery.

Abad 2009 Gotín del Risc Godello (Bierzo)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Waxy, peachy aromas are less than fresh, and the palate follows that lead via soft, pithy flavors of orange and melon. Shows little grip or structure for Godello and the finish fails to bring it home with kick or pop. Already past its prime. Tasted twice.

Abad 2009 Gotín del Risc Mencía (Bierzo)

- $12
Funky and leathery, and just not all that clean or promising on the nose. In the mouth, it’s razor sharp and sour, with excess acidity, little body and piercing pie cherry and underripe raspberry flavors. The definition of a “narrow” wine.

Abad 2008 Gotín del Risc Joven Godello (Bierzo)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Heavy and definitely on the mealy side of the fence, and fighting for any semblance of balance. Pithy as well. Sadly, the citrus fruit in this wine is not that appealing.
