Hombros

Mike Ritchie
Tasting: Bierzo Mencia
Classy, clean and correct, modern styled wine. Polite oak is at the service of the wine and doesn’t dominate the layers of vibrant black berry fruit. Elegant and restrained stylish overall. Very good.

Tasting: Bierzo Mencia
Oaky, with blackberry notes, very modern. Dense but smooth, easy, evident, very clean. A nice wine, but it lacks sense of origin.
Sarah Jane Evans
Tasting: Bierzo Mencia
Complex aromatic profile: fine blend of oak with ripe dark fruit. Rich, succulent palate, with cooked black fruits with sweet spices, and a coating of oak tannin. Lacks balancing freshness.
