balanced, bright, beautiful Mencia. envinate is so so talented.

Cinnamon, nutmeg & clove at first, then lots of layers of baked cherries & rhubarb, leather and savory notes.

Stunner

Medium deep ruby garnet with reasonably wide garnet rim . Quite aromática with spiced dark cherry , wild strawberry , cacau touches , fresh herbs also . On the palate quite ripe cherry fruit , with quite refreshing acidity , slightly chewy tannins with a bitter touch on the ok finish . Drink now and over the next 3-5 years

I think this was drinking as good as it ever could—pure, generous, floral, and balanced on the palate. Wish I had more.
