此酒呈紅色，蘋果汁的濃重芳香，讓人難以品嘗出酒的甜度，所含的甜蜜的紅色水果風(fēng)味類似于 American White Zin 和 Boston Baked Beans 糖果的味道。評分：82。

The 2009 Mencia was sourced from vineyards planted in 1920 and 1935. The wine went through malolactic in new French oak followed by 14 months of aging before bottling without filtration. Sexy aromas of wild raspberry, black cherry, mineral, and a hint of balsamic lead to a silky-textured, nicely proportioned, lengthy red that will evolve for another 1-2 years and drink well through 2021.

The grapes for the 2008 Avanthia Mencia are sourced from 70- and 85-year-old vineyards. The wine is barrel-fermented and then aged for 14 months in new French oak. Purple-colored, it offers up a compelling bouquet of underbrush, smoke, spice box, mulberry, plum, and blueberry that jumps from the glass. This leads to an elegantly styled wine with outstanding depth, succulent flavors, vibrant acidity, and incipient complexity. Give it 2-3 years of additional cellaring and drink it from 2012 to 2023. Bodegas Avanthia is a new collaboration between the Gil family of Jumilla and importer Jorge Ordonez.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates from Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 462-5767

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
