Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

A nice Mencia from Bierzo, Ruby red color, purple hues, with aromas of juicy red fruits, spice and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, tart strawberry and cranberry, with spice and gentle oak notes, very Rhône-like. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy character. — 15 days ago

9.1

Light footed and quite light bodied, yet with nice tension, beautifully integrated tannins and a juicy flow.
Dark fruit (black cherries, mulberries) and turned earth with a hint of tar and leather but also with a floral whiff adding freshness & lightness.
Juicy, with a certain effortlessness yet with quite some depth and a dark, rocky mineral core.
Somewhere between a good Morgon and a Baga - this is delish! And with just 13% alc, dangerously gluggable. — a month ago

2018 wine. Very tasty wine although it was made in 2018. Very reasonable price and great taste. — 5 years ago

9.1

Pale to medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary aromas of lavender, cherries and hibiscus; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary flavors of raspberries, red currants, and tart cherries with a long finish. This wine is complex and with enough fruit to balance the acidity. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — 4 months ago

Nose initially reticent, some reductive notes, peach and apricot in the background. Fresh, green apple, balanced acidity. Delightful wine that should benefit from a couple years of bottle age — 5 years ago
