| MENCIA RED 2018 DO Bierzo |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
GODELIA |
| This classy 100% Mencia from Bierzo in north-western Spain has a deep intense purple colour. The gently spicy attractive nose shows lots of bright ripe plum, black cherry and raspberry with some minerally, gently cedar, faintly earthy notes. Dry, medium bodied, harmonious and fairly complex with bright, ripe, plum-cassis-raspberry flavours that are balanced by very faintly smoky, refined oak on the lingering finish. Aged for 12 months in 400L French oak barrels, Terrific now, especially with lamb. It has 15% alcohol and under 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number L040823 on the back label. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: This inky ruby-colored wine has aromas of black cherry, black currant and black-olive paste. It has a nice balance of velvety tannins and brilliant acidity that supports blackberry, cherry, dried thyme, mocha and freshly cut ginger flavors that endure on the palate.
