Pétalos Bierzo Mencía

always a pleasure but never a screamer.

Floral, spicy, jam, nice texture. Spanish Pinot noir in a way. Nice.

Just love this wine, just tried ‘18! Nice blend of grapes from the Bierzo Valley, the ‘18 has about 4% of perfectly ripe white grapes, 6% less than ‘17. Deep Ruby with loads of Berry fruits aromas adding some sweet floral spice and flinty notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry with a juicy mineral edge. Well balanced and integrated with fine smooth tannins, lively acidity and a long finish ending with oak and spicy notes. Tremendous value for such a complex wine.

Mediocre and flabby on opening but now 5 day later way more balanced and refined. ‘Spanish Pinot’ with mocha chocolate and candied cherries.

Give it some air and enjoy with food.

September 15, 2022. Great pizza wine

Jan 2022: very nice after 30 min slow ox in the bottle

Heavy oak/vanilla. Very smooth.

Mencia 💪🏻... Earthy and aromatic mid-weight medium acidity with mild tannins and earthy fruity wine. Raspberry, blackberry, candied cherry and eucalyptus, with a nice mineral layer. Harmonious and easy to pair with pretty much anything, it is a great value for any discerning palate out there...

Good aromas! Dry and fruity. With dry finish. Good with food. For 17.95 at lawc. Not bad. Will get again. Should open 1 he before serving.
