Tasting Note: 

"Intense cherry red. Great intensity and elegance. Fruity notes appear at first, including cranberries and red forest fruits, alongside aromas of blue fruits such as sloe berries. Delicate aromas of pipe tobacco, menthol and cedar have been added through its ageing in French oak, with a mineral finish that gives it personality. It has notable weight on the palate, it is enveloping and glycerine, well balanced, with fine, polished tannins and a long, delicious finish leaving an aftertaste of dried fruit." 

About the Producer: 

"Bodegas Palacio was one of the leading wineries in the oenological renaissance of the Rioja that has taken place in the last decades. At the end of the 80s, Bodega Cosme Palacio marked the before and after of the history of wines in Rioja Alavesa. The winery created a bridge between the classic and the modern Rioja style. Today, Bodegas Palacio an its wines have a great national and international recognition. Its new commercial impulse can be sensed, with the aim of going beyond national limits, vouching for captivating wines that are characterised, among other things, by an excellent quality for money."
