Score 98/100 · Drink 2023-2035, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, Aug 2023

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. 4,463 bottles, 107 magnums and some larger formats were filled in December 2022.

98% Mencía, 2% Jerez and Valenciana. Aged 10 months in foudre. Sweet cherry cordial aromas, bitter almond notes, simple palate with a lightness of touch that is refreshing and positively skinny after tasting their Priorats. (RH)

The 2021 Moncerbal Vino de Paraje combines Mencía and other reds from 1.5 hectares in Corullón, Bierzo. It has herbal notes, hints of sour cherry, mint and rosemary, finishing with violets and pomegranate. Vibrant acidity keeps things juicy and lively, ending with pure fruit flavors. Transparent and expressive, the 2021 is delightfully contradictory—both delicate and energetic.
