DECANTER MAGAZINE 5 Stars & 95 points - "Alvaro Palacios Moncerbal 2015 is showing beautifully. Heady aromas of red roses and plums lead to a generously plump and fleshy palate. Dense and powerful at the outset, followed by a delicate grain of tannin. Very lively, very long. Of all the Bierzos, at its best today..."
