A step up is the 2010 Tebaida N5 Mencia, from the grapes of vineyard number five hence the name, planted in 1903 at 700 meters altitude, which yields 15 hectoliter per hectare. The grapes are fermented in 500-liter oak barrels, and aged in barriques for 21 months. The oak is perfectly integrated in the wine, showing just a hint of smoked meat and chocolate. Only 1,500 bottles are produced. Give it a couple of years and drink in the next decade. Drink 2015-2025. Bodegas Casar de Burbia were founded at the end of the 80s by Nemesio Fernandez and today his son Isidro Fernandez is in charge of their 27 hectares of vineyards in the village of Valtuille de Arriba, identifying and separating plots that show specific character into three groups which will make the three lines of wines: Tebaida from rocky, higher-up vineyards; Hombros from mid-slopes rich in clay and some stones, and the Casar de Burbia plots where they source their entry-level clean, fruity wines. Isidro has a reputation for paying much attention to all details, and I felt this shows in the wines, which have surprised me. No need to say that they only use grapes from their own vineyards to produce their wines. All reds, save the Tebaida Nemesio displayed a Bordeaux personality that surprised me a little.

The 2008 Tebaida 5 was sourced from the estate's original plot planted in 1903 and aged in new French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, reticent aromas of sandalwood, exotic spices, incense, violets, black cherry, and black raspberry inform the nose of this tightly wound, powerful yet elegant offering that will require considerable patience from those who buy it. Give this substantial effort another 6-8 years of cellaring and drink it from 2017 to 2033. All of the Casar de Burbia wines are 100% Mencia that went through malolactic fermentation in barrel.
