Tasting - Alvarez de Toledo

Tasting: 3/23/17

Name: Alvarez de Toledo Mencia Roble 2009

Variety: 100% Mencia

Region/Country: Beirzo, Castilla Leon, Spain

Year: 2009

Winery Review: Our wine stands out because of its marked fruity character which brings out all the qualities and characteristics of the Mencia variety. Its time in the barrel accentuates these qualities by providing subtlety, elegance and complexity. In mouth is silky, fruity, with persistence and great kindness. (site)

My Review: Stands out with lots of cherry & dark fruits while you can smell the tannin. There was a taste of leather with a medium dry finish.
