Tasting notes
The 2012 Moncerbal is the stonier, more extreme vineyard that in 2012 somehow feels a little riper. It has aromas of plums and red cherries, a soil, organic touch, no traces of oak - as is the case with all the wines here. The oak is perfectly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied, there is more depth than Corullón but this Moncerbal is also more austere and closed, slightly more tannic, perhaps the ripest of the 2012s together with la Faraona. I would wait on this one. Around 1,800 bottles were produced.

Opaque purple. Potent mineral-accented dark berry and cherry aromas, with peppery spice and cola nuances emerging with air. Fleshy and energetic on the palate, offering potent black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors lifted and sharpened by tangy acidity. Very rich yet lively wine with strong finishing cut, excellent length and a lingering floral nuance. The blend of power and vivacity here is sensational.
