Tilenus Mencia Crianza 2000

Bierzo, Castilla-Leon, SpainImpressive smoky, espresso vanilla oak nose with licorice, baked earth, black cherry jam, peppery, gamey aromas. Rich, round, supple and dry with savoury, mocha, peppery, spicy, black cherry jam, gamey, black raspberry flavours with a touch of acidity and warmth on the finish. Fairly elegant considering the flavour intensity, drink now or over the next 2 years. Great restaurant wine.Tasted: 01 February 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
