Casar de Burbia Tebaida Nemesio Mencia, Bierzo, Spain 2010

Description

Produced by Casar de Burbia in the rugged hills of Bierzo, the 2010 Tebaida Nemesio reflects a vintage of balance and structure. Sourced from old vine Mencia planted on slate and clay soils, the wine emphasizes depth and mineral tension.

The bouquet reveals black cherry, wild blackberry, and plum layered with violet, graphite, and crushed stone. With extended bottle age, tertiary notes of leather, dried herbs, and earthy spice have emerged, adding complexity without diminishing freshness. The palate is medium to full bodied, framed by firm yet refined tannins and vibrant acidity that preserve definition.

The finish is long and savory, marked by dark fruit, mineral nuance, and subtle spice. A mature and structured expression of Mencia from Spain, demonstrating both concentration and evolution.
