Cool berry and a whisper of earthy funk. Fine firm tannins and a bit if cocoa on the finish. Sneaky acid. Drinks at or maybe above its price point. Glad I have more.

Apr 4th, 2014Picked up on the distress market. Super value. Rich, deep, complex. Fleshy, smokey, minerally. Makes me want to learn more about mencia and what's happening in Bierzo.

This 2007 Mencia is still drinking remarkably well. I’m down to my last 2 bottles. Inky purple. Mocha and cocoa. Delicious.

Drinking perfectly right now. It has been 4-5 years since I last tasted this wine and it was too young. Now it is hitting its stride.
