The purple-colored 2006 Algueira is 100% Mencia aged for 11 months in a mix of new and used French oak. It offers up a lovely bouquet of rose petals, damp earth, and black cherry. On the palate it has layered savory, spicy red and black fruit, a bit of structure, excellent depth and grip as well as 2-3 years of aging potential. Drink it from 2011 to 2018.
