FBS, JS92(3)

John Szabo, MS

A consistently fine and concentrated example of Bierzo from one of the region's top producers, with considerable complexity and depth for the money. The '15 is particularly deep and generously proportioned (14% alcohol declared), with excellent length. This is mencia to a tee, blended from dozens of parcels throughout the appellation. Tasted June 2017. Value Rating: ***

Jane Staples rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Dark garnet with a fruity nose of ripe cherries. The 2015 palate shows ripe cherries, vanilla, tobacco, dried herbs and touch of smoke. Extra-dry and slightly tannic with dried herbal finish. Enjoy with grilled lamb chops garnished with rosemary.
