Xestal
Manufacturer:
Mike Ritchie
Tasting: Bierzo Mencia
Another developed wine from 2007, with savoury, gamey character and a mature profile. All nicely integrated, complete and satisfying on the finish, but in the autumn of its career. Recommended but not a keeper, for immediate consumption.
Pedro Ballesteros
Tasting: Bierzo Mencia
Meaty, intense, very warm aromas, particular. Well structured, with soft and abundant tannins, gentle and deep. Long
Sarah Jane Evans
Tasting: Bierzo Mencia
Smoky funky aromas. Sweet silky fruit with fading tannins. A little hot.
