BODEGA DEL ABAD Mencia 'Carracedo' 2012

The 2012 Bodega Del Abad is up there with the best 'Carracedo' wines that have been produced from this estate. This wine needs more than an hour to unwind in the decanter. After time it yields aromas of blueberry compote, smoked meats, allspice and blackberry. There is a tremendous range of aromatics. Flavors of blueberry pie, wild blackberry preserves, black olive and baking spices persist alongside light tannins. Absolutely exquisite stuff from this estate. This will age gracefully. (Best 2016-2030) - March, 2016 (OB)
