Omschrijving
Descendientes De José Palacios Bierzo Corullon Moncerbal is een rode wijn uit de regio Castilla y Leon in Spanje. Gemaakt door het wijnhuis Descendientes de Jose Palacios. Een absolute Top wijn en kan wedijveren met de allerbeste en duurste Grandcru's uit de Bourgogne en heeft herhaaldelijk tot verrassingen geleidt op een blindproeverij. Ongelooflijk verfijnd en een prachtig pallet aan geuren en smaken.
De Moncerbal 2021 is een "vino de paraje", geproduceerd met druiven (meestal MencÃa maar ook 4% witte druiven) van verschillende percelen van in totaal 1,51 hectare in dezelfde zone van het dorp Corullón. Het fermenteerde met enkele volle trossen en inheemse gisten in eiken vaten gedurende 46 dagen en rijpte gedurende 11 maanden in eiken vaten en foudres. Het is een van de alcoholarme wijnen (samen met de Corullón) met 13,5% alcohol. De ultra elegante, strakke en minerale Moncerbal 2021 heeft een verbazingwekkende frisheid, ultra verfijnde tannines en veel complexiteit, met lagen en lagen van smaken en aroma's en een grote diepgang. Er heerst hier een gevoel van harmonie dat boeiend is: dit is pure elegantie. Het is bloemig, geparfumeerd en fluweelachtig met zeer fijne, krijtachtige tannines en een sappige afdronk. In december 2022 werden 4.463 flessen, 107 magnums en enkele grotere formaten gevuld waarna deze nog bijna 9 maanden flesrijping hebben gehad.

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.
I tasted the bottled 2021s and the 2022s from barrel. 2021 was, according to Ricardo Pérez Palacios, the most challenging year ever, a vintage when MencÃa wouldn't ripen! From very early on, Moncerbal shone and felt to be among the finest vintages for this paraje. 2021 was an atypical year, cooler but with a warm and dry end of the season. They harvested some grapes at the end of August, and then they had to stop because the grapes wouldn't ripen! So, Pétalos has only 13.5% alcohol. Some wines have a reductive character; it was a cooler and dry year, and the wines show that character, continental and cold, despite the heat in July and August. The wines are juicy and aromatic, a lot fresher than they anticipated. The wines have contained alcohol (all around 13.5%) and a narrower profile. It should be a long-lived vintage, perhaps not as juicy as the 2018s but with very good balance and freshness. Now from bottle and with the perspective of time, the wines are evolving nicely, perhaps not reaching the heights of 2018, but with elegance and grace, slowly. Starting in 2021, all the wines except Pétalos are certified organic. 2022 was a very challenging year, but surprisingly, the wines are more balanced and better than what they expected. The alcohol is lower than expected, the vines got blocked, it was very warm and dry, or at least the alcohol didn't go that high, but the acidity started dropping. Yields were high, and the white grapes were very good; they used a lot of white grapes, almost to the allowed 10% to 12%, when they normally use between 6% and 8%. The prices for the 2022s had not yet been set at the time of tasting. So far, 2023 looks like a very good and cool year but with a massive mildew attack, even more in lower parts of Bierzo in the valley floor than in the higher-altitude zones like the slopes of Corullón.
They are bottling the wines from Bierzo earlier than ever, so I already tasted the 2020s in bottle for the region's article at the end of January 2022. I include those notes here for the completeness of the article, but now I only tasted the unbottled 2021s, from a very different year, which, according to Ricardo Pérez Palacios, was the most challenging year so far, a year when MencÃa wouldn't ripen! I had already tasted some of those 2021s before, and back then, even if the wines were going through full malolactic, the Moncerbal already shone and felt to be among the finest vintages for this paraje. 2021 was an atypical year, cooler but with a warm and dry end of the season. They harvested some grapes at the end of August and then they had to stop ... because the grapes wouldn't ripen! So, Pétalos is only 13.5% alcohol.

Beautiful bright ruby color with a fine and vibrant nose, full of mossy wild strawberries, raspberries, subtle herbs and flowers. Hints of nori, white pepper and red dates. One can feel the vibrancy and precision here, with red berries extending to a mineral palate. Very pretty, with juicy, svelte and racy berries, showing defined linearity and finesse. From organically grown grapes. Delicious now.
