Nice... A little residual sugar is off putting. But the flavor profile is stellar. And Tio Alvaro says "exceptional for my palate".

La Montesa by trailblazing winemaker Alvaro Palacios at the helm of the family estate Palacios Remondo in Alfaro, Rioja Oriental/Rioja Baja, the sometimes snubbed, southernmost subzone within the Rioja appellation. Fruit is sourced from from Palacios Remondo’s eponymous 90-hectare vineyard on the northeastern slope of Monte Yerga, at an altitude of 1,800 feet. Fresh, elegant, refined, structured. Juicy fruit, spicy finish. — 6 years ago

2018 Coyam from Emiliano Los Robles Estate 150 km south of Santiago, Chile.
Organic and biodynamic practices by Alvaro Espinoza.
42% Syrah, 39% Carmenere, 6% Cab Sauv, 5%Garnacha, 3% Malbec, 3% Carignan, 1% Tempranillo and 1% Mourvèdre. Truly a field blend wine.
Ripe blueberries, blackberries and cherries on the nose with a hint of earth.
This wine is so smooth. Flavours of plums, dark fruit, fig and a hint of smokiness. Smooth tannins and a long finish. Put anything on the grill and enjoy this. — 4 years ago

Young, dark, fully loaded with forest berries notes. Charged with tannins, full-bodied, intense and long-playable. Beside the youth presents himself elegant.
After some 15/20 years should be silky, delicate but with the same nice structure. Alvaro knows his job. — 8 years ago

Dark Ruby in colour. Lifted aromatics showing red fruits (Barb thought red plum) raspberry, liquorice and a tobacco note. Same coming through on the savoury palate with a lovely fluid mouth feel. I have always loved the Mencia grape from Bierzo from the first time I tried it. Interestingly made by Alvaro Palacios who shot to fame in Priorat with his high priced “L’Ermite”. I recommend you watch the Documentary on Priorat. — 5 years ago
