Deep red with dark cherries in the nose. slightly medicated with some mint. The palate is lined with a warm rather broad prelude. Dark fruit flavors, pronounced, very little liquorice, slightly green bitter aromas on a rather shorter finish. I miss something the charming freshness that I appreciate in good Mencia. Acts heavily extracted and a bit to alcoholic.

Black fruit, clove, licorice on the nose. On the tongue, currant, plum, cinnamon, leather and a long dry slightly acidic and tart finish. It feels like a Pinot Noir and a Malbec had a death. Great value. Have it with duck or just drink it. It's rewarding.

Sacado a ciegas en Lavinia.
Fresco, fruta roja madura, grosellas, mina de lapiz, algo terroso, muy limpio y nítido, la madera está muy bien puesta. Floral y especiado.
La boca está mas apretada que la nariz, necesita algo de botella, un punto cálido pero muy buena acidez. Muy jugoso y bien construido.
