Community Tasting Notes 6

  May 15, 2018 - Nice wine. Decent fruit, with a bit of ink / iodine undertone. While I'd like to think this would gain more complexity with age, I'm skeptical. Does not seem to have the structure (tannins, acidity) to warrant holding. My short-hand on this one is that it's a perfectly good weeknight wine with simple red meat (burgers tonight), and one that if it were hypothetically available, would make a nice low to mid-priced addition to a restaurant wine list.

  March 27, 2017 - 90 This wine is still very young with a strong fruit profile, well balanced, good weight and a long finish. Hope it gets more complex with more time in the bottle.

  September 13, 2015 - Appearance: Clear wine with a deep ruby colour and bright red rim.
  
  Nose: Clean nose with a Medium intensity. This wine is developing.
  
  On the nose this wine is lean and savoury with fresh blackberries, sage, crushed rock, earth and evidence of light oak contact.
  
  Palate:
  Dry
  Medium acidity
  Medium alcohol
  Medium tannins
  Medium intensity
  Medium- body
  Medium finish
  
  The palate reflects the nose with the minerality of crushed rock being especially pronounced. A medium earthy finish is slightly alcoholic and hot. The body is slightly thin and whilst this not a bad wine - it certainly isn't my cup of tea.
  
  Acceptable quality Mencia from Bierzo. I would think this wine should be drank within the next year or so and at 7-8 euros a bottle, good QPR. I can't help but feel this is a wine that needs to accompany food to get the most out of the experience.
