Castro Ventosa, El Castro de Valtuille Barrica, 2008

Tasting: Bierzo Mencia

A little dumb on the nose, a touch of gamey savouriness. Powerful and heady mouthful, sweetly ripe and rich, a touch hot on the finish. Drink now.

Tasting: Bierzo Mencia

Intense, clean, very particular in its wild rustic aromatic expression. Full bodied, with lots of fruit and smooth abundant tannins, needs some fatty food to express itself in all its graces. Persistent finish.

Tasting: Bierzo Mencia

Polished integrated oak aromas. Dense black fruits with a lively blast of acidity stand against bold grip of tannin and tar. Forthright and foursquare.
