Alain Graillot, Encinas, Bierzo 2016
93
Tasted by:
The latest international venture for the northern Rhône’s Graillot family sees Antoine Graillot join Spain’s Raúl Pérez to craft this meaty, pure-fruited Mencía. Wild fennel joins tart plums and cherries on an inky, earthy palate. Elegantly rustic, with sappy tannins and savoury acidity.
