Legado del Moncayo Dry Muscat 2016

88	View from the Cellar	This is the first time I have tasted the Dry Muscat from Legado del Moncayo and I like the wine quite well, but it is already showing a bit of reductive issues on the backend of the palate, with the finish a touch pinched and a slightly off, asparagus flavor just starting to poke out on the finish. Last I checked, asparagus was more closure-specific and varietal-specific when tasting Muscat. With some coaxing, the nose offers up a very pretty blend of fresh pear, salty soil tones, a touch of beeswax, spring flowers and a hint of wild fennel. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and quite dry, with a good core of fruit, lovely soil signature and a long, crisp and well-balanced finish that cannot quite shed its reductive vegetal streak on the backend, even with extended time in decanter. This is a really, really good wine, so let’s put it under natural cork next vintage! Issue #78 - November/December 2018
***	The Washington Post	Score: * Stars (Great Value) "Muscat generally tends to be sweet. Dry versions like this one retain the grape's flowery and citrus character. Think of standing in a lemon grove near the ocean on a breezy day. This is delicious by itself but would be a great partner for seafood salad or paella.” Washington Post**, January 2018

Legado del Moncayo Dry Muscat 2017

90 (VfC)

90	View from the Cellar	The 2017 Dry Muscat from Legado Del Moncayo is aging beautifully and is starting to develop and aged Riesling persona at eight years-old. The bouquet is deep, vibrant, complex and nicely developed, offering up scents of tart orange, lemongrass, guava, white soil tones, coriander seed and a musky floral topnote redolent of orange blossoms, lavender and honeysuckle. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and still nicely bright and complex, with a lovely core of fruit, good soil undertow, fine balance and a long, precise finish that closes with a note of lemon peel. This is really good wine and still readily available in the market! It reminds me a bit of a mature, dry Nahe Riesling. 2025-2030. John Gilman, Issue 117, May– June 2025
