Pétalos Bierzo Mencía

always a pleasure but never a screamer.

Floral, spicy, jam, nice texture. Spanish Pinot noir in a way. Nice.

Just love this wine, just tried ‘18! Nice blend of grapes from the Bierzo Valley, the ‘18 has about 4% of perfectly ripe white grapes, 6% less than ‘17. Deep Ruby with loads of Berry fruits aromas adding some sweet floral spice and flinty notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry with a juicy mineral edge. Well balanced and integrated with fine smooth tannins, lively acidity and a long finish ending with oak and spicy notes. Tremendous value for such a complex wine.

Give it some air and enjoy with food.

September 15, 2022. Great pizza wine

Jan 2022: very nice after 30 min slow ox in the bottle

Heavy oak/vanilla. Very smooth.

Mencia 💪🏻... Earthy and aromatic mid-weight medium acidity with mild tannins and earthy fruity wine. Raspberry, blackberry, candied cherry and eucalyptus, with a nice mineral layer. Harmonious and easy to pair with pretty much anything, it is a great value for any discerning palate out there...

Good aromas! Dry and fruity. With dry finish. Good with food. For 17.95 at lawc. Not bad. Will get again. Should open 1 he before serving.

One and a half hour decant. Ruby in color. Dry with mossy earty tones. Fattey with light floral flavors after long decant
