Vino de capa alta, en nariz fruta roja, monte olor cárnico. En boca entrada suave con buen secante pero quizás demasiado violento, largo.

Wow!! Tasted this with the importer yesterday and it blew me away! Very interesting blend of mencia, cab and merlot from Bierzo. It will retail under $20. We'll probably glass it as well.

Nose has plum, licorice, violet, gravel, and asphalt.

Palate opens with some blackberry and black cherry, lacks a bit of a mid palate and closes with plum skin, gravely minerality, and a touch of oak. Tannins are fairly course and pronounced.

Simple mencia blend. Lacking a bit of acidity for my taste, but solid overall with grippy tannins.

Interesting tasty wine. Just a little bit funky, but not too much.
