Producer Notes
With Alvaro Palacios' background, it's no surprise he's leading the pack of new superstar Spanish winemakers. The industry is in his blood, as his family owns respected Palacios Remondo in Rioja.

($35) Dark red. Precise cherry and blackcurrant aromas are complicated by cocoa, anise and dried flowers. Supple, chewy dark fruit flavors are gently supported by dusty tannins, with good acid lift on the back. Finishes with excellent juicy persistence and a jolt of bitter cherry.

Very robust, needs to be opened ahead of time and also needs more time in bottle

Excellent wine. Pretty black cherry and berry fruit, floral notes, med body, complexity from waves of other flavors. Bright acidity, good tannic levels, super long finish. Very elegant.
