Descendientes de José Palacios Moncerbal 2021

The ultra elegant, sleek and mineral 2021 Moncerbal has amazing freshness, ultra refined tannins and lots of complexity, with layers and layers of flavors and aromas and great depth. There is a sense of harmony here that is captivating—this is pure elegance. It is floral, perfumed and velvety with very fine, chalky tannins and a sapid finish.

Beautiful bright ruby color with a fine and vibrant nose, full of mossy wild strawberries, raspberries, subtle herbs and flowers. Hints of nori, white pepper and red dates. One can feel the vibrancy and precision here, with red berries extending to a mineral palate. Very pretty, with juicy, svelte and racy berries, showing defined linearity and finesse. From organically grown grapes.

Alvaro Palacios Moncerbal 2015 is showing beautifully. Heady aromas of red roses and plums lead to a generously plump and fleshy palate. Dense and powerful at the outset, followed by a delicate grain of tannin. Very lively, very long. Of all the Bierzos, at its best today.
