title: Ribas del Cúa 2003 Privilegio Mencía (Bierzo)
description: Gassy and funky out of the chute, with spice, licorice and aromas that hint at both richness and oak. The palate is ripe, roasted and tilts toward dark berry, plum and raisin, while the finish is round, medicinal and warming. Very much like the basic Cúa 2003 Bierzo, with a little more precision. Seems a little fat and hollow, but it makes its point.
variety: Mencía
designation: Privilegio
