The legendary Priorat winemaker, Alvaro Palacios, founded Descendientes de J. Palacios in 1998 alongside his nephew, Ricardo Perez, and together they have gained an incredible reputation for their perfumed and elegant wines made from the local variety, Mencia. 2015 was an exceptional vintage for the region and this is a stunning release of their mid-tier cuvée, Moncerbal. This is a riper, darker and fuller-bodied expression of Mencia, yet the natural elegance and mineral complexity remains as true as ever. Fresh, fragrant and textural, with slightly smoky hints, this would be superb alongside barbecued lamb chops.

Vinous
Vivid ruby. Displays intensely perfumed aromas of raspberry liqueur, cola, exotic spices and pot-pourri, along with a strong suggestion of smoky minerality that builds in the background. Deeply concentrated and alluringly sweet, showing impressive energy and a bright mineral core to its sappy red berry preserve, spicecake and lavender pastille flavors. Gains power with air while maintaining clarity and definition. Velvety tannins harmonize effortlessly with the wine's vibrant fruit on an impressively persistent, floral-accented finish.Josh Raynolds1st March 2019
