Tilenus Envejecido en Roble Bierzo Mencía

Pale garnet; medium plus intensity aromas of sour cherry, black plum, purple flower, spicy potpourri, garrigue; dry, medium plus acid, medium elegant tannins, high alcohol, medium body, medium plus intensity flavors consistent with aromas; high alcohol but gives impression of a light elegant spicy wine

2010 Tilenus Mencia - 8 months in oak. Dark black purple. Aromas of blackberry. On the palate bracing, dry and slightly bitter. Maybe this is trying too hard. - bit over extracted and missing fruit intensity.

Never had this before and it was lovely. Packs a big punch and it's quite dense.

Very nice Mencia from Bierzo, soft vegetables aromas, explosive red fruit, good balance! Worth to try it!

15.5/20 (87/100)

H- wine from our new friend in the hostel, served warm however it was not offensive, M- no notes, but was good, she also loves tea?? G- warm, but fun with new friends, slight pucker. Score could be higher if served cold

Good depth and hearty just a little bitter...more positives than negatives for sure 🍷enjoyed it.
