The 2010 Hombros Mencia also shows the assemblage of green pepper and oak so reminiscent of Bordeaux. It has a cedar nose of black fruit and plenty of sapid tannins, with a strike of acidity that lifts the palate. Some tannin still needs to be resolved. A classical wine. 20,000 bottles produced. Drink 2014-2020. Bodegas Casar de Burbia were founded at the end of the 80s by Nemesio Fernandez and today his son Isidro Fernandez is in charge of their 27 hectares of vineyards in the village of Valtuille de Arriba, identifying and separating plots that show specific character into three groups which will make the three lines of wines: Tebaida from rocky, higher-up vineyards; Hombros from mid-slopes rich in clay and some stones, and the Casar de Burbia plots where they source their entry-level clean, fruity wines. Isidro has a reputation for paying much attention to all details, and I felt this shows in the wines, which have surprised me. No need to say that they only use grapes from their own vineyards to produce their wines. All reds, save the Tebaida Nemesio displayed a Bordeaux personality that surprised me a little.

Juicy flavors of black cherry and blackberry enliven this racy red, with notes of balsamic and vanilla in a polished texture over light, firm tannins. Floral and spice accents linger on the finish.
