Palacios "Petalos" Bierzo 2007

Purple.

Vinturi - roasted herb, grilled sausage, earth and vague black fruit nose. Again, more than a bit suggestive of the northern Rhone.

Deep, full entry, with acid/wilted green edge cutting through. Think of this as a Spanish Cornas, only way cheaper. Intense and loaded. Gutsy, just lacks clarity and some complexity.
