This is a very good expression of #mencia from #bierzo at a reasonable price. In fact it’s a steal.

Lovely Spanish wine from Mencia, dark red color, ripe nose full of prunes, sweet spices, vanilla and a hint of smoked oak, medium body with dry tannins, the oak is a bit overpowering the body and the finish is very dry and tannic. My score 86, drink to 2022, I think WS awarded 92 points, so it is up to you to decide ...

Pale yellow with a very significant tear. Blending godello with a very special grape variety called doña blanca. Age for 5 months, it reveals asparagus, white pepper and lemon scent on smell. Silky and easy to drink. Not very long persistence. It worked pretty well with tuna tataki and low temperature cooked seabass. Around 20€, it was empowered by a thrilling and stunnig views from Altea mediterranean bay.

A very well made Mencia with great dark cherry fruit and chocolate, smooth tannins, good acidity, an absolute pleasure to drink though little development in the glass it does what it does very well, smooth drinking with wonderful fruit.

Good mencia haunts my dreams. Deep plum color, medium body, black cherry, light tannins on the finish. Gimme.
