Tasting note
This intense Mencía is showing heavy doses of asphalt, raw oak, char, exotic wood and dark berry aromas. It's layered, rich and lively in the mouth, with heady, toasty flavors of smoked black fruits. A mix of toast, baking spices and licorice flavors shadow subtle but integral black-fruit notes. Best from 2015 through 2020. Score - 93. (Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 2014)
Under the garnet colour, the nose is medium and complex. Enjoy this dry, full-bodied and spicy red featuring refreshing acidity. On the palate, it showcases fleshy tannins and a broad mouthfeel that leads into a medium finish.
