Untitled
"This balanced red offers bright cherry and cranberry fruit, with licorice and mineral accents. Not a big wine, but nervy and intense. Drink now through 2010. 3,500 cases imported. –TM" -Rated 88, Wine Spectator
Untitled
"The 2006 Petalos del Bierzo is purple-colored with a fragrant nose of violets, lavender, mulberry, and blueberry. Ripe, supple, and sweetly fruited, it will evolve for 2-3 years and drink well through 2015.
This estate was started in 1998 by Alvaro Palacios. It has steep hillside vineyards and 60-100 year old vines planted in 100% Mencia, a varietal indigenous to Bierzo, a cool-climate D.O." -Rated 91, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Untitled
"This is Descendientes’ so-called starter Bierzo, but it rises above the tried and true value zone to exhibit mineral, crushed violet petals, graham cracker and pure dark-fruit aromas. The palate is smooth and plush, with lush black-fruit flavors, easygoing tannins and some creamy length. It’s not as vivid as the 2005, but it’s still mighty impressive. — M.S. (11/1/2007)" -Rated 91, Wine Enthusiast

"Ruby-red. Vibrant red berry and cherry aromas are underscored by pungent minerality and rose; this smells like a great Chambolle-Musigny. Sweet raspberry and floral pastille flavors are enlivened by brisk acidity and gain sweetness with air. Very suave, focused and strikingly pure wine with superb complexity and poise." -Rated 91, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
