Hot tip: let this Varney Wines Mencia 2024 breathe. A little bit wound up for now, give it that chance to unfurl and you'll hit the pleasure zone in no time. Gorgeous and then some, this is a silky wine to adore.
Gloriously medium bodied, it's epically slurpable. Dark cherries, cherry liqueur, char and cherry wood smoke get the juices flowing as boysenberries and plums emerge with more time in the glass. Some charcuterie meatiness, burnt sage, tilled earth and soy add a fabulous array of savoury delights. More savoury than those of previous years, there is still no denying the delish factor. Great stuff!
Drink to five years.
