Priorat that’s elegant and downright gulpable. Plush red fruit compote (as another reviewer put it, perfectly) with leather, herbs and just the right amount of sweet oak in the background. Wears its ripeness deftly

Rich and plush with an elegant touch that is Palacios doing Priorat for y’all! Ripe, near compot-like fruit profile with wet stones and a well tucked in and integrated oak profile luring in the back. A long interplay between the soft and velvety tannins and the fresh acidity is pulsing through a solid and stimulating finish.

16+/20 (88+/100) Очень молодое и совсем сейчас неготовое вино с большим потенциалом. Аромат преимущественно ягодный с выраженными тонами бузины, черники и ванили. Умеренные тельность и кислотность, бархатистые танины. Насыщенно ягодное во вкусе. Пить не раньше, чем через пять лет.

A beautiful bouquet of red bold fruit from this Spanish Priorat of Grenache, Cabernet and Merlot grapes...drinking from the rooftop of our penthouse overlooking all of Sitges on our last night in Spain.
