Palacios "Petalos" 2005 (Bierzo, Spain)

Red/purple.

Vinturi - toasted oak, earth, fig, baking spices and a hint of fresh herbs on the nose.

Round and mouth-filling, with a deep earth/spice character. Minor acid/saline intrusion lifts low-toned flavors and reveals a floral citrus note. Actually finishes with pungent, chewy, citrus resonance.


$18
