 | |  TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK
Country: Spain
Region: Castilla Leon
Sub-Region: Ribera Del Duero
|
Deep crimson in color with ruby highlights, Cuvée Palomar shows intense aromas of fresh ripe red berry and preserved plum with notes of violets, orange peel, mint and hints of caramel from the barrel toast. These impressions carry onto a full, voluptuous palate with further floral notes and nuances of torrefaction set in a silky tannic structure of elegant balance. The finish is long and powerful, an expression of one of the great microclimates of the Duero Valley.

Untitled
"Chocolate and coffee flavors dominate this rich red, but a core of blackberry fruit and lively acidity keeps it fresh. It's firm but focused; for fans of oak. Drink now through 2007" -Rated 87, Wine Spectator

"Patience is a must to make it through this burly, earthy, almost murky blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon. Early aromas of mulch and coffee morph into black fruit and leather, while initially reduced black cherry and currant flavors take on more character and depth with time. Never does it really shine, but it is a serious wine that has its merits." -Rated 88, Wine Enthusiast
Untitled
"Deep red. Strong oak spice and candied dark berries on the nose, with suggestions of vanilla, succulent herbs and licorice. Lush, sweet and ripe, with deep blackberry and cherry flavors and a hint of maple. Finishes sweet and long, with soft tannins and pungent mocha and toffee notes. This is drinking well now. " -Rated 88, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
