La Mano Roble Mencia 2008
815
This is about as good as it gets for 10 bucks and it is probably discounted heavily at the Sam?s Clubs and Trader Joe?s of the world. The 2007 La Mano Roble is 100% Mencia from the increasingly prestigious DO of Bierzo. Deep crimson-colored, it delivers a fragrant perfume of earth notes, mulberry, and blueberry. Layered on the palate, it has extraordinary depth and concentration for its humble price. Spicy, smooth-textured, and pleasure-bent, this awesome value is worth buying by the case. Drink it over the next three years.
