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

I 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.

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

Even in Mencia, quite tannic. Complexity is a feature of this wine. WA95 @1750, wine plus - XH, 191019-191207

Beautiful red fruit flavors with meaty/mushroom notes. Hints of cinnamon and herbs. Wonderful texture and acidity!

Needed to open up tp soften the tannins. Paired with venison, worked very well
