From the three 2012 Mencías my favorite is the 2012 Gotin del Risc Mencía, which is sourced from different vineyards on clay and slate soils and is quite aromatic with notes of violets and wild berry fruit with hints of sweet spices. The palate is medium-bodied, with abundant, slightly grainy tannins that would feel softer with food. There's a good intensity with flavors lifted by the alcohol.
