Descendientes de J. Palacios Pétalos 2007
Bierzo, Castilla-Leon, SpainAlvaro Palacios is the man behind this delicious Bierzo red made from 100 per cent mencia. Rich and swimming in dense black blueberry-like fruit it has a wonderful underbelly of minerality and a strong aromatic floral character. The grapes are grown employing biodynamic viticulture. An exotic riveting red with bits of violets spice incense. A modern wine from old vines and even older methods.Tasted: 22 October 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $33.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
