Garnarcha Blend

Palacios Remondo Propiedad 2005

So, back to business.  Well, drinking actually.  I've been lucky enough to have a look at this wine twice in the last two weeks, a full bottle last weekend and another taste yesterday.  The wines from Palcios Remondo seemed to have moved into a very serious mould.  Both this wine and La Montesa are pretty serious wines from the 2005 vintage the need some chill out time in the cellar.  I double decanted the full bottle and drank it over 5 hours.  Of course the last glass was the best.

A classic nose of earthy undergrowth, cherry, raspberry, spice, mocha and pepper. Showing its youth at the moment, but showing loads of potential.  Very tight it gives up some nice tannins and a spike of acid. On the palate its very primary: mulberry, cherry, and raspberry with some dried herbs.  One for the cellar, but it will open up to be a beauty in a couple of years..  92+ Pts.
