The Wine Advocate # 243 - 28th Jun 2019 - Luis Gutiérrez - 2016 Palacios Remondo • La Montesa - 93/100 - 2019 - 2024 - $20
I returned to the 2016 La Montesa once it had been in bottle for almost eight months. It has all the rosemary, thyme and aromatic plants in the Monte Yerga in Alfaro. It has a note of incense. It's super juicy Garnacha with citrus freshness. It's incredible to have this quality at this price and almost unbelievable that they produced 690,000 bottles of it. A steal!

James Suckling - January 22, 2019 - Palacios Remondo Rioja Crianza La Montesa 2016 - 94/100
Stunning mountain freshness with delicate floral notes and mineral energy, this is a standout 2016 Rioja that shows what was possible in this vintage. Great energy on the breathtakingly bright finish. Enormously food-flexible. Drink or hold.
