Palacios "Petalos" 2006 (Bierzo, Spain)

Purple.

Grilled meat, menthol, spice and a suggestion of citrus/pepper on the nose. Lower-toned earth/potato/blood action with air.

Round and packed in the mouth, with a building sense of sweetness. Earth/citrus/meat flavors are bright and intense. Chewy and long, with acidity driving the finish.

This is killer. How can you buy this with a crappy $/euro exchange for only $20? More "modern" in style than usual.

WTF? Every restaurant in the country should be pouring this by the glass.
