Bierzo


Dobiñón  tinto Mencia, D.O. Bierzo **HERITAGE WINE**
* Elegance, balance and attractive earthy and spicy fruit are the key words in this wine. The fruit is both elegant and earthy, fresh and even refined, a cross between a supple red Bordeaux and elegant red Burgundy. Not the power, but the balance and the fluid fruit impresses in this wine.
- estimated retail price ca. 4 - 5 euro
- tasted: 04-02-’05

Valencia

La Bodega de Pinoso Torre del Reloj Monastrell Rosado 2006, D.O. Alicante

- tasted: 01-03-’07

Casa Monfrare Monastrell Joven 2003, D.O. Valencia
