2013 Niepoort Calderera Mencia (Bierzo)

The 2013 Calderera Mencia felt very balsamic, with aromas of incense, aromatic herbs and wild strawberries. It is Mencia mostly from slate soils but with some grapes grown in a different zone where the soils are rich in sand. The palate shows electric acidity and a fine minerality; it has a nice texture and very long finish. There are 1,500 bottles of this wine. 93 points
