Palacios Remondo Herencia Remondo La Montesa Crianza 2003
Montesa is the name of the vineyard that Alvaro’s father planted. This skillfully crafted red wine, released after one year in oak, is conceived as the “bridge” between the estate’s past and future. Wine Advocate The 2003 Crianza Montesa, a blend of 40% Grenache, 45% Tempranillo, and the rest Graciano and Mazuelo, was aged in French oak. A beautifully made, elegant Crianza, it offers sweet, herb-tinged, smoky black cherry and currant fruit, lovely freshness, medium body, silky tannin, and a long, persistent finish. It is a delicious red to drink now and over the next 3-4 years. Score: 89. —Robert Parker, June 2005.Wine Spectator Distinctive and alluring, this red is vibrant with berry, lilac and cinnamon notes. It's firm and balanced, with a fresh finish. Brings you back for another sip. Drink now through 2010. 5,000 cases imported Score: 88. —Thomas Matthews, November 30, 2005. Wine Enthusiast More earthy, ripe and bulky than normal, with a lot of smoky/savory aromas. The cherry and apple-skin palate is propelled initially by acidity, and then core depth comes up. For a hot vintage, this wine is expectedly melting and warm. But it still has enough gusto and acid to keep it moving. Drink now through 2008 (with food) and you'll be happy Score: 88. —Michael Schachner, February 01, 2007. |
