I’m sure I probably have had a taste of Mencia before, but this is the first time I focused on it… The blend was 85%... quite a unique grape profile. Treated it like a Rhône substitute — a day ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2020 pours a deep ruby purple with a near opaque core and a magenta rim; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is youthful with notes of Montmorency cherry, tart plums, licorice, purple flowers, cocoa, and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Tasty stuff and a very nice pairing with braised short rib. Drink now through 2040. — a month ago

Field blend of 85% Mencia and rest other local varieties from 100+yo pre phylloxera vines. From the bearded Bierzo wizard Raoul Perez. Violets on the nose, and a fresh spicy pinot noir ish palate. — 2 months ago

PnP. Modestly dark purple color. Would never guess Spain from the nose and palate. This is straight up Rhone! Dark cherries, meaty/earthy, some tobacco, and subtle herbs. Nice depth and finish. Solid restaurant list value. — a month ago
