Vehemencia Mencia 2014

Bierzo, Castilla-Leon, SpainIt’s been awhile since we last tasted this but we get the same slight reductive notes early on so make sure you splash decant. Again, the attraction is the minerality, earth and liquorice all mixed into a fresh red fruited wine. All hail the mencia grapes. Soft supple and delicious this is red for wine drinkers. You could cellar this for three years or serve it now with grilled lamb or pork.Tasted: 29 September 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
