Elegant nose of sour cherries, smoke, bacon, slate, blood. A metallic mineral hint and fantastic acidity that points you in an Atlantic direction. A beauty, at a very affordable price, if you are a Burgundy lover this is Spain’s closest

This is a funky and lovely #mencia from #bierzo #winesofspain blackberry ripe cherry and yet celery and Asian spice. It’s so original and so cool. Of the #valtuille this is the best one.

17/20 (92/100) Насыщенный, джемовый аромат с тонами вишни, клубники, лакрицы и молочного шоколада. Довольно плотное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, вяжущими танинами. Продолжительное послевкусие.

Great expression of Mencia. Plenty of red fruit and some scrub herbs. Good acidity and length, with fine tannins. Still a baby, so mich better than its cheaper brother

Quite elegant, almost burgundy-like but with a garnacha (?) edge to it

17+/20 (92+/100) Красивый аромат спелых ягод вишни, морёного дерева и шоколада с легкой животной нотой. Высокая кислотность, мелкозернистые и сухие танины. Насыщенное во вкусе. Молодо с потенциалом.
