Enjoying this latest bottle much more. Perhaps my best yet. Great nose. Warm, layered, leathery while still showing nice fruit. Hope the rest are more like this...

(13.5%) 100% Mencia - Have a number of these sitting in the cellar so I decided it was time to check in on it. I'm glad I did as it is starting to get rather lean. Still loads of floral and mineral notes backed by soft fruits. Enjoyable but make sure you drink 'em if you got 'em.

Another great Bierzo, i've just discovered this region and so far I like everything I've tried. This one has ruby red to purple color. The nose has a bit of bottle funk on it, somewhat like stinky cheese. This blew off to reveal caramel, vanilla and plum. The wine has very good fruit flavors with medium to heavy tannins. Medium finish, love it!

nose - rose petals
mouth - straightforward and simple, less impressive than my last mencia, tasting a bit of heat on the finish.
