  The wine is cherry and the robe is medium-high. The rib are garnet, and their legs, which fall down slowly, are thin.
  On the nose it´s mineral, and it shows smoked aromas, with red and black fruits, lactic aromas, and hints of flowers.
  On the palate it shows a high acidity level. It´s saline, mineral and fruity. The finish is medium-long, fruity, roasted (coffee) and spicy.

  Very pleasant Bierzo. Cherry with nice acidity, there's a herbal and slightly mineral quality throughout the wine which I appreciate. The 9 months of oak this wine gets seems reasonable, and is not overpowering. Very lively at this point, may settle a little bit more over a year or two. Still alive on the fourth day after being in the fridge with the cork put back in.

  Dominio de Tares Cepas Viejas, mencía 2008.
  
  Visual:
  Color rojo cereza oscuro con ribete granate. Capa alta, gran cuerpo.
  
  Nariz:
  A copa parada frutas rojas maduras y potentes y notas mentoladas balsámicas mas sutiles. Al agitar la copa se revelan elegantísimos aromas a torrefactos y a roble nuevo, muy untuoso.
  
  Boca:
  Entrada amable y paso ligero con una acidez muy controlada pero presente, que dota al vino de vivacidad exquisita. Los taninos son sedosos y en correcta proporción. En retronasal vuelven a aparecer frutillos rojos y un sorprendente desliz ahumado y se vuelve un pelín licoroso, pero de una manera agradable. Post-gusto extremadamente largo, bueno y persistente.
  
  Un sorprendente vino de El Bierzo que expresa de forma fidedigna la tipicidad de la mencía y que además está perfectamente estructurado y en un momento de consumo óptimo.
