Las Tres Filas 2020
Descripción
Las Tres Filas es un monovarietal de Mencía con una nariz intensa, fresca y elegante donde dominan las sensaciones de frutos rojos, fresa y frambuesa, así como notas florales de violetas. En un segundo plano, muy bien integrado, aparecen recuerdos de vainilla, tabaco y minerales. Elegante y sedoso en boca, con un acidez muy equilibrada.

Opinión de los críticos
This shows notes of blackberries and blueberries with hints of walnuts, dried herbs, baking spices and cocoa nibs. Medium-to full-bodied with chalky, dusty tannins and a smooth, seamless texture. Juicy and crunchy blue-fruit character and notes of chocolate and licorice to close. Drink or hold.
Our Best in Show journey across Northern Spain continues with a 2020 Bierzo, grown just across the provincial border from Galicia into Castilla y Léon. It’s another zone of steep slopes and old vines – the variety in this case being Mencia (known as Jaen in Portugal’s Dão region). This wine is deep black-red in colour and vivacious and urgent in aroma: wild plums mingled with the woodland scents of leaf, copse and forest floor. The palate is fruit-packed and vibrant, vigorous with an energy derived both from ripe acidity and fresh though smooth tannins; look out, too, for a stony, bitter-edged finish perhaps derived from the region’s slate soils. Wonderful drinking now in the flush of youth, but fruit of this quality will hold well for a few years yet.
