Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
PALACIO GLORIOSO |
Here is a very well-priced 2018 Tempranillo Reserva that was aged for three years with 12+ months in French oak. Youthful deep intense purple-red colour, the attractive, robust, fairly cedary, ripe plum nose has some spicy, raspberry-crancherry notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, solid, harmonious, spicy, cedary, ripe, plum-cassis-crancherry flavours with a long, bright, very well-textured, toasty finish. It has 14% alcohol and only 1.4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L021130 on the lower part of the glass bottle. |
