Descendientes de José Palacios
Villa de Corullon Bierzo Mencía
Bierzo, Castilla y León, Spain
The 2014 ‘Villa de Corullon’ by Bodega Palacios is a superb showing from this storied Bierzo estate. Sourced 50-100 year old Mencia vines from the municipality of Corullon, just south of San Martin, this incredible new wine shows really good aromatic range, from white pepper and vegetal tones to black tea, black currant purée and exotic spices that all are marvelously woven together in the glass. Beautifully textured, the wine shows off a soft and inviting mouthfeel. Chinese black tea, wild blackberry preserves and suggestions of pipe tobacco and leather all come together on the palate. Hugely enjoyable in its youth, this outstanding wine will cellar well for the next fifteen years. Drink 2019-2035- 93

So tasty! Everyone loves Corullón. Don't deny it. Red fleshy berries, purple florals, just a bit of sandalwood spice. I will say that this and Les Terrasses (another mid-ish level Palacios wine) share a certain vinosity I have trouble articulating...

Mar 18th, 201517+/20 (92+/100) Насыщенный аромат с тонами спелой вишни, красной сливы, молочных сливок, спелого яблока, молочного шоколада и намеком на кожу. Довольно высокая кислотность и вяжущие танины. Очень молодо, но весьма многообещающе.
