Bodega 2010 El Agosto Bierzo

Posted by Keith Wallace

Spanish Wine Review

A beautiful bottling of old vine Mencia grapes. A nose of garrigue with pain grillé, basil, and dark berry. On the palate, rich fruit and savage elements dominate. Very nice tannin structure, with pencil shavings and sweet vanilla on the finish.  Medium-bodied. A fantastic value in Spanish wine.
