A nice Mencia from Bierzo, Ruby red color, purple hues, with aromas of juicy red fruits, spice and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, tart strawberry and cranberry, with spice and gentle oak notes, very Rhône-like. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy character.

Truly spectcular. Sour cherries and red fruit, tension, elegance, a slight animal hint that I link to the variety rather than Brett. Made my day. Fine acid, definitely the Spanish alternative to Burgundy.
