Sipping Fine Wine

9.8

Blend of 96% Tinto Fino and 4% Merlot, new and used oak aging, deep Ruby red with elegant bouquet of berry fruits, pepper spice with earthy tones. On the palate flavors of plum and blackberry, with tobacco, oak, pepper spice, lively acidity. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak, spice and an earthy character. Nice! — 6 days ago

NOSE: A little European funk, flowers (violet?), sweet nutmeg, granite, dark berries.

TASTE: juicy berry, baking spices, a little earthy funk. Basically a juicy berry version of the nose, 90. — a day ago

As an American in Spain, this was my first Mencia, and i loved it. I would describe it as larger than a pinot noir and smaller than a barbera. — 4 days ago

Has a soft floral fragrance with notes of dark berries!
Drinks quite strongly and is intense right out of the gates. However, it does mellow out a bit…but still retains robust flavors of spice, dark fruit and tobacco leaf. — 6 days ago

Lovely wine. 2001 is probably past its prime but good cherry notes with spice and cocoa. Lovely long finish. — 14 days ago
