La Mano 2011 Roble Mencía (Bierzo)

Country: Spain / Roble
Variety: Mencía Northern Spain
Winery: La Mano / Bierzo

Herbal red plum and raspberry aromas are jammy yet fresh. This feels a bit scratchy up front, then creamy on the back palate. Flavors of lactic plum and cherry emphasize oak, while the finish is bright but slightly abrasive in feel.
