2008 Palacio de Arganza Bierzo La Mano Mencía Roblemore |
3/25/2011 - Sebastien Rake Does not like this wine: NRStraightforward wine that showed the basic profile of Mencía; red fruit, bramble and herbal notes followed with good acidity, rough but light tannins, and light alcohol. Not a bad red table wine for lighter meals but nothing to get excited about either. |

2008 Descendientes de José Palacios Bierzo PétalosMencía more |
3/25/2011 - Sebastien Rake Likes this wine: NRFull expression of Mencía with ripe brambly raspberry, blueberry pie, complex herbal notes and baking spices. The tannins were refined like a nice black tea, and balanced with the crisp acidity. Not quite full bodied with a long finish. Although this is Palacios entry level Mencía, it shows what this grape is capable of, and is very much worth picking up. |

2008 Quinta da Peza ValdeorrasMencía more |
3/2/2011 - Sebastien Rake Likes this wine: NRNice nose of black pepper, black current leaf, ripe cherries and a touch of mint. Light tannins on the palate, with moderate acidity and medium body, fresh fruit flavor and a medium finish. Overall pleasant young wine for easy drinking and light meals. |
