Sunday, 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.
