Lacima 2011

"The 2008 Lacima comes from the oldest Mencia vines between 50 and 100 years in age raised in 300-liter used barrels. It has a well-defined, very pure bouquet with kirsch, raspberry, crushed stone and bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with a very supple, smooth, slightly lactic entry with faint hints of dark chocolate and leather infusing the succulent red fruit, held in check by its crisp acidity. The finish has fine structure and ample freshness, although I cannot help feeling that a soupcon of Mauraton would have added another dimension. Still, this is a very fine wine from Dominio do Bibei. Drink 2013-2019".
