Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
I love the bottled 2022 Las Lamas, from the 1.6 hectares of vines in seven plots that are all together since they bought the last plot in 2017. Las Lamas behaves better in dry conditions, as it has more clay in the slate soils and retains water better. It was produced with 92% Mencía and up to 8% of white grapes, and the wine shows perfumed, elegant and balanced. It fermented in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and 49 days of maceration and matured in French oak barrels and foudres for eight months. It's aromatic and spicy with notes of rosemary, sage and white pepper, tasty and showy. This is elegant and seems to have the austerity of a very balanced vintage; it's very complete, with a medium-bodied palate, 13.5% alcohol and very stony tannins. 7,107 bottles and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in November 2023.

Description
Las Lamas is a red wine made from a combination of Mencía and Alicante bouschet grapes by the Descendientes de J. Palacios winery under the D.O. Bierzo in Castilla y León, Spain.
These grapes come from estate-owned vineyards in Las Lamas that are between 60 and 100 years old at an altitude of between 660 to 730 metres above sea level, which makes it a surprising red wine.
The soils are slate with a thick laminar structure, horizontally and obliquely situated, with sandstones and clays, with a continental climate with a strong Atlantic influence.
Winemaking
The vineyards from which the grapes come from are worked according to the principles of biodynamic agriculture and using indigenous yeasts. The grapes are harvested by hand.
Alcoholic fermentation takes place in small wooden vats. After maceration for 39 days, malolactic fermentation takes place in wooden vats. The wine is aged in new French oak barrels for 17 months and bottled unfiltered.
Taste
Las Lamas is a wine with mineral and balsamic notes and a smooth, round aroma. In the mouth it provides a stimulating sensation on the palate, with characteristics of a dense red wine, with good acidity, fine tannins and spicy hints.
An elegant and surprising red wine.
The red wine Las Lamas is produced by the Descendientes de J. Palacios winery. It is a deep wine marked by balance and elegance with a high ageing potential.
At a gastronomic level it is the perfect accompaniment to dishes with sausages, big game stews, idiazábal cheese or dishes with black truffle.
