Udtryksfuld Rioja med hele 94 point fra Robert Parker!
Glemt alt om dvask og fadtung Rioja, når afsenderen er Alvaro Palacios. Med La Montesa er det helt andre elementer, der er i spil.
Vinen består primært af Garnacha/Grenache med mindre andele af forskellige røde druesorter i blendet, og selvom vinen er lagret på fad i 12 måneder, er det mesterligt integreret i denne meget flotte vin, der udtrykker sig selvsikkert og elegant med en fremragende kombination af delikate aromaer af moden, sort frugt og krydrede, mineralske noter med et hint af skovbund på en ristet baggrund. Super behagelig og med en livlig fylde på tungen suppleret med præg af krydret, sort frugt og behagelige tanniner inden en lang finish.
En utrolig elegant rødvin, der balancerer fornemt mellem raffinement og power.
Robert Parker - 94
I had not yet tasted the 2021 La Montesa, and I'm glad I did. Álvaro Palacios was super proud of this vintage, and he told me that "many people consider it at the level of a very good Burgundy village at a fraction of the price!" It is indeed a great value, even more so in an exceptional year like 2021. But it was unmistakably Garnacha, with notes of garrigue and aromatic herbs, red cherries and flowers. It fermented with 20% full clusters in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in barrel for 12 months. It's clean and precise, with a lace texture, very fine tannins, flavors of red berries and herbs and a long, tasty, chalky finish. It has to be one of the finest vintages of Montesa to date. It has 14.3% alcohol, a pH of 3.5 and 5.3 grams of acidity. It's not a small cuvée; they produced 592,372 bottles! It was bottled in March 2023.
