This is a first release for d'Arenberg "The Antropeocence Epoch." Hopefully, Delectable will correct. It's made from the Mencia grape. The nose reveals; blackberries, black cherries, black cherries, sweet tar and dry dark florals and espresso roast. M+ tannins, black cherries, blackberries, expresso, caramel, mocha, tough leather, soft spice-box, wood shavings, red roses, crushed dry rocks with good acidity but vey dry tannins at this young stage. Photos show the entrance to their restaurant and their tasting area in the cellar where we tasted.
