Tasting notes
Opaque, bright-rimmed ruby. Explosive, spice- and mineral-accented blackcurrant, cherry liqueur, pipe tobacco, incense and candied violet qualities on the highly perfumed nose. Shows outstanding depth and energy to its palate-staining black/blue fruit, floral pastille, cola and licorice flavors, which display noteworthy delineation and mineral back-end thrust. In a graceful, energetic style, with superb finishing cut, resonating florality and velvety tannins that add shape and gentle grip.

The 2014 Moncerbal, 96% Mencía and 4% white varieties, follows a very clear line that, since 2012, is producing very elegant wines, but this 2014 could be the epitome of it. It could very well be the finest vintage of Moncerbal to date. It has a captivating nose with lots of freshness, floral, complex, elegant and nuanced. The palate has electric freshness, when the Mencía is not particularly high in acidity. This was expressive from minute one and kept changing in the glass and developing nuances. Talk about complexity, and to me, aging potential. 2,675 bottle, 73 magnums, 20 double magnums and 13 Jeroboams were filled in March 2016.
