The purple-colored 2007 Avanthia is 100% Mencia sourced from two old vineyards, 70 and 85 years of age. It was aged in new French oak for 14 months and bottled without filtration. It delivers an exotic nose of underbrush, smoke, and wild blueberry leading to an opulent, layered wine which manages to retain some elegance. Rich, savory, and long, it has the structure and balance to evolve for 6-8 years and should offer prime drinking from 2016 to 2027.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; (781) 461-5767
