The 2006 Avanthia is 100% old-vine Mencia sourced from two vineyards with 70- and 85-year-old vines respectively. The wine was barrel-fermented and aged for 14 months in new French oak. Production was a miniscule 100 cases. Purple-colored, the wine offers a seductive perfume of roses, cherries, pain grille, spice box, and mineral. This leads to a wine with an elegant personality, smooth-textured, silky, and intensely flavored. Beautifully balanced and lengthy, it will evolve for 3-5 years and drink well through 2020. It is all about pleasure.Importer: unknown
