Reviewer:Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate (Robert Parker)
Review:The very young and fruit-driven red 2023 Brezo Mencía is elegant and fine-boned. It contains some 5% Garnacha Tintorera and up to 10% white grapes that give it agility and freshness. 2023 was a warm year, but the result is almost as fresh as in 2021, which was definitely cooler. This is juicy, primary and tender, expressive, clean and balanced, with a nice mixture of wild berries and herbs, licorice and a fine thread in the palate. It's serious but approachable. It has complexity and balance. This is a superb unoaked Bierzo red. 45,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2024.
