Descendientes de J. Palacios Pétalos 2008
Bierzo, Castilla-Leon, SpainPétalos is all about the old vine 60 years plus mencia grape that is bio dynamically farmed on several small hillside plots. Its mineral floral violet character stems from the rocky slate soils and old vines that Alvaro Palacios and Ricardo Perez Palacios, his nephew and co-proprietor, work with. You will love the warm, earthy nose and dark berry fruit flavours that are so well blanced you want to drink the entire bottle before your food arrives so you can have another. This is serious stuff at a very unserious price. There isn't much 2008 coming to Vancouver which means the incredible 2009 will be here before we know it.Tasted: 06 April 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $29.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
