I like that the fruit wasn’t overripe in taste vs some more powerful mencia’s consumed. I guess good value for money but I’m not screaming out to buy this again (yet). Nothing wrong with it just that my palette wants to explore lots of different wines

Popped and poured. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, licorice, road tar, cocoa and spice. Ripe red and black fruit, anise, cocoa, spice and fine tannins on the palate. Very long, layered finish. Full bodied. Served with grill pork chops.

I'm now a fan of the Mencia grape when it's handled like in this wine. As suggested on back label (in Spanish) I decanted this since it is not filtered. There is a deep dark purple hue. Spice and berry fruit aromas came through on the nose, and there was luscious sweet fruit, textured tannins, creamy oak, all kept in check by a bright acidity. GVFM imo.

Blackberry and violets on the nose. A structured body with a fair amount of tannins on the finish. Will wait on my next bottle for a while...

Erfrischend mit Tiefe und hintergründiger Spannung, das erwarte ich mir von einem Bierzo, das wird auch geliefert. Passt.
