March 6, 2023 - Rounder than other mencías. Nose of tapenade and tar (maybe mercaptan), dark chocolate and, after opening, candied cherry and dill. On the palate, acidity is m+ going up over time, with tannin and alcohol are well integrated. Flavours go around oaky, liquorice and red berries, with a varietal note of woody spice and black pepper

January 21, 2023 - Tilenus oak aged mencia 2019
Bierzo
SPAIN

88 pts.
Young, vibrant and balanced dry red made from the mencia grape which is native to the interior of northwest Spain. Exhibits some redberry fruit, an easy drinking and understated wine to accompany meat, chicken and freshwater fish. The wine is aged in oak but the back label offers no further information except to warn European countries which import the product that it contains sulphites. The short to medium finish is clean, agreeable, and pleasant. However, consumers based in Spain would do well to note that there must be at least half a dozen examples of wines of the mencia varietal which offer the same quality for half the price.
