Luna Beberide 2012 Finca la Cuesta Mencía (Bierzo)

Country: Spain / Finca la Cuesta
Variety: Mencía Northern Spain
Winery: Luna Beberide / Bierzo

Dark in color, this Mencía smells of turned earth, roots, herbs, dried cheese, tobacco and baked black fruits. It’s round and chunky on the palate, but cobbled together at its foundation. Ripe blackberry and raspberry flavors come with vanilla and creamy notes in front of an ephemeral finish. Drink through 2017.
