Licis Mencia 2015, Franck Massard

Licis is the name of the tiny single plot in North West Spain where the grapes are grown and harvested to make this elegant red wine. Fragrant with raspberry, cherry, violets, lavender and dry roses on the nose. Extremely well-balanced displaying freshness and elegance with soft tannins that frame this wine beautifully. Licis is already really expressive and delicious as a young wine but it will become even more complex in time. “Love Syrah? Love Burgundy? This smells like the former and tastes like the latter. What’s not to love?” – Tom King, Fine Wine Manager
