Palacios Remondo La Montesa Crianza 2011

It's interesting to compare the 2010 with the 2011 Finca La Montesa, which has a slightly different blend - 70% Garnacha, 25% Tempranillo and 5% Mazuelo - also sourced from the family vineyard La Montesa del Monte Yerga in Alfaro. It displays notes of ripe red fruit and spices in an elegant but in a slightly rustic way. The palate is round, with some tannins and ripe flavors. This is very good value. Drink 2014-2017. Score - 91. (Luis Gutierrez, erobertparker.com, Dec. 2013)
