Tenue en nariz pero agradable y complejo, elegante. En boca entra inicialmente con mucha fruta, que da paso a tonos amargos, con intensidad y astringencia. Tras un par de tragos se va redondeando. Largo.

Very dark red for Mencia. Nice nose of red berries, spices and flowers. Nicely fruity on the palate with a mineral twist and some iodine notes. Well balanced with good acidity. Medium finish. Outstanding QPR.

I am not sure what to make of this wine. It is the first time I have a mencia wine. I like at first but it gives me an after taste than is not that nice. Maybe is the combination with cheese? Nevertheless you can see that is a wine that is very well made. Very dark color, peppery taste. It has something of cabernet franc from Loire. I need to give this another try.

One of the best Mencia wines I've ever had. It still has the wonderful floral notes, but it's also quite dark, fruity and peppery. This is a Bierzo for Côtes du Rhône fans.

Really dark fruit and peppery spice. Quite well made. Not really my style, but I can appreciate it. Probably would’ve liked it better with food.
