Beautiful #Mencia #wine. Very dark, opaque with slight purple rim. Oily sheen. Stewed berry nose, some spice, a little meaty. Smooth texture. Became dry over time, to dusty tannin. Beaujoulais-esque. Blackberry, cassis notes. Opened 11/9/17

Lovely violet tinted color. Aromatic nose; black cherry compote, pomegranate, licorice root, floral, oak (sweet wood, baking spice, vanilla). Palate shows more tart cherry/pomegranate, crushed rocks, pepper, smoke, slight bitterness. Fine but m+ tannin, elevated alcohol. Juicy core of fruit followed by a mineral and spice driven finish. Grippy yet elegant. The oak is somewhat overwhelming.

Blackberry, blueberry, vanilla, spice in the middle. I believe the first time I've had Mencia. It's good. Medium mouthfeel, some pleasant tannins; dry. If it stays balanced it could age a few more years. Good alone or with food (meatballs in red sauce with onion on a sandwich with provolone and Duke's mayo).

On the nose white flowers and orange peel. In the mouth, bright red fruit, orange peels, drying tannins. Medium acidity, medium-long finish. Fairly elegant, but still young.
