Soft nose of Indian spices, beef jerky, and dark purple flowers. Upon tasting there is a flash in the pan sensation of Northern Rhone Syrah that continues into a black and blue showcase of perfectly ripe fruit. Lavender is there, violets are there, and also a touch of dried clove. The finish is long with a beautiful continuation of everything that's mentioned above. This is an absolutely stunning expression of Mencia.

Black currant, kirch, floral, black olive, slightly gamey. Very interesting and delicious with grilled ribeye.

To finish off after the Grand Cru Tasting one of my favourite Wine styles - Mencia from Ribeira Sacra In Spain. Very savoury yet full bodied. Very easy to like. Bottle disappears quickly.

2016 -- great young wine, best served ever so slightly chilled. Red and blue fruits, solid tartness, subtle hints of vanilla that give the wine a Rhone-esque feel. Chalky/slate finish. Light texture; an early summer delight!
