Bodegas Palacios Remondo, Finca La Montesa, Rioja Oriental, Spain 2021

Another accomplished vintage of La Montesa with its trademark laidback elegance and inviting zestiness. A rim of bergamot and blood orange zest outlines the mulberry, cherry and blackcurrant fruit, with beautiful floral nuances (violets and dried roses) in the background. Great definition to the tannic framework, with spicy vibrancy. Lively finish, with a tail of cedar, tangerine and pomegranate juice.
