8.8

Surprisingly fuller bodied than I’d expected. 14%, that’s why. Nice development on a ‘12. Nice spice on this. Good acidity and balanced tannins. Not too complicated.

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

Chewy and jammy red from Spain. Not my favorite.

Light spice for a young Bierzo; Mencia killing it though.

Pretty cool little Mencia from Bierzo, but it falls apart pretty quick.
