Álvarez de Toledo Colección de Familia 2015 (x6)

Clearly, there was real ambition here to make something smart and now we have the results. Almost nonchalantly floods the mouth with oak, forest fruits and plum, the texture bewitching, focusing on the fruit, yet providing the edge of tannin that is an integral part of the wine's pedigree. Winemaking of a high order.

A dark berry aroma is heady and warm, with a flush, wide palate. A bolt of acidity gives energy to blackberry and spice flavors, while this Mencía doesn't falter on a plush finish.
