This wine is worth a try just due to the unusual flavor profile. Very earthy / barnyardy. Starts off a bit alcoholic however that blows off after an hour of decanting.

(Spanish Tasting at Vino, Hollywood, Florida) This unoaked Mencia has a beautiful ruby red color and a nose of wet earth, florals, and ripe berries. It tastes of black cherries, dark berries, spice, and cracked pepper. Unfortunately, there is a sharp edge; almost a bitterness that you can taste and feel on your tongue, that is very distracting and unpleasant. This takes away from it's otherwise positive attributes, it's rich fruit and spiciness. The wine is medium bodied with a moderate ending.

Good basic wine. Touch of hera and milky smooth. I like it, kindy samethic texture. Nothing extraordinary but basics are fine!
