Tangy cherry and mixed berry fruit over a core of stoniness. Faint tannins, great balance.

Jan 8th, 2017I love Mencia. Notes of raspberry, earth and pepper. Medium bodied and savoury with dry fine tannins. Like a hypothetical blend of Burgundy and Rhone with restrained use of oak. A little closed at 3 years. It will open up and show more complexity in the coming years.

Love it. #mencia #oldvines #bierzo #alvaropalacios #palacios Racy acidity, stones, violets and earth. For me oak is perfectly integrated. Personally wouldn't pay 2x Petalos.

Mar 18th, 2016Fantástica mencía. Entrada potent, gran cos, un punt estringent però rodó, omplint la boca. Regust mig-llarg.

Oct 19th, 2019Beautiful red fruit flavors with meaty/mushroom notes. Hints of cinnamon and herbs. Wonderful texture and acidity!
