Thick, tannic and delicious, with a slight acidic note, which, as well as lively and vivacious which predicts a long shelf life. Raspberry and strawberry dominate over the American oak induced vanilla. An intense, clean and direct wine, which opens from the onset in anticipation of the varietals full potential: primary aromas are accompanied by wood in the form of vanilla but not as the leading component.

Reviews

Brimming with sour-cherry, cranberry and floral aromas on the nose, this is a vibrant and racy mencía with polished tannins and acidity and a long, star-bright mineral finish. Drink or hold. ~93pts, JS

The straightforward red 2015 Casar is pure Mencía that is fruit driven and with the creaminess of some time in oak containers of different sizes. The palate was medium-bodied with some fine-grained, slightly dusty tannins and pleasant flavors. One for the table. 33,345 bottles produced. ~ 90pts, WA
