On the nose - flowery and lots of blackberries/strawberries.
On the palette - blackberries, sour cherry, and stone/gravel. Somewhat earthy, but not funky.
I was surprised at the tannin (med+) and has good acidity. Would go well with food.

Reminds me of a Beaujolais, but less of that jammy character and more minerality. Longer finish too. Decently complex and interesting wine. — 3 years ago

Deep ruby. Powerful black/blue fruit, incense, Indian spice and vanilla aromas on the expressive nose, with a smoky mineral quality adding urgency. Offers sweet, densely packed boysenberry, cherry cola and spicecake flavors that spread out steadily on the palate, picking up an exotic hint of star anise and a touch of licorice on the back half. Lush, broad and seamless in character, finishing with superb energy, sharp delineation and smooth, even tannins that add structure and subtle grip. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, March 2019) — 6 years ago

(17.5/20) Прекрасно структурированное вино со сложным, насыщенным ароматом черничного джема, чернослива и шоколада. Очень хорошо! — 9 years ago

A rich complex intriguing wine. Dark fruit, nut and pepper. Tannins but not too much. Really amazing value, and for 7 years old still tastes incredibly vibrant. — 11 years ago

Extremely earthy. Aromas and flavors of red and black fruits with hints of smoke, black licorice and roasted mint leaves. Just a touch of Brett. Really dense (including the color) and concentrated. Fine tannins. Rustic but elegant. Thanks a mark B. — 4 years ago

A bit fleshier than previous vintages. The move to less new oak and less time in oak seems focus the wines here a bit, but the house style of nearly opulent dark fruit remains. — 5 years ago

Good value Mencia. Plums (almost prunes) and violets on the nose. Cooked dark berry jam and beef jerky flavors on the pallet. Rugged but acceptable tannin structure. Smokey finish. Good QPR. — 7 years ago

The ugliest label in memory--Las Vegas meets Depardieu in a back alley- belies a velvety, balanced& juicy bierzo. This is all about texture. — 9 years ago

Great fragrance. Giving nose. Tannins take over on the palate. Not aggressive just gripping in palate progression. Lean. $9.99 B — 9 years ago

16.5/20 (90/100) Аромат кожи, чернослива, инжира и эвкалипта. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью и заметной горчинкой во вкусе. Мощное, животное, чуть грубоватое. — 7 years ago

Was a dumbo and didn't realize I had bought Sherry?
Very light golden yellow. Smells of candied nuts but tastes of proscuitto a little bit (salty). — 8 years ago

Initially closed on the nose but grew with some air time. Quite floral, red fruits, red liquorice, tonka bean providing some exotics and a hint of leather. Medium bodied with a nice pucker of tannin to it. Rate it, drinks best with a chill knocked into it — 9 years ago
