DESCENDIENTES DE JOSÉ PALACIOS – PETALOS DE BIERZO – DESCENDIENTES DE JOSÉ PETALOS DE BIERZO 2014
Notes de dégustation: un millésime plus dense que le 2013 même si cela reste bien maîtrisé. Sur les fruits rouges, la cerise et framboise avec des nuance de prune un peu épicées. La matière est concentrée, les tannins mûrs et l’ensemble est déjà cohérent. A boire dans les 10 ans.

VIN : DESCENDIENTES DE JOSÉ PÉTALOS DE BIERZO 2014 |
The 2014 Pétalos del Bierzo was already up for tasting as they sell the wine quite quickly even if the volumes are not small, but the wine had only been in bottle for one week and it might have been a little closed, especially when compared with the aromatic 2013. However, the aromas, if subtle, are phenomenal, very complete and balanced, with an extra degree of complexity when compared with the 2013. The harvest was a little healthier without being easy (or dry). There is great volume in the palate, fleshy, juicy and rich without being heavy, medium-bodied, somehow similar to the 2012 even if it still needs to develop further complexity. There’s always a subdued minerality, a texture and mouthfeel difficult to find in wines of this price level. This is approachable now, but it will be better in one year and should develop nicely in bottle. There are some 380,000 bottles of this wine, as they are limited by the space they have in the current winery. They will be able to grow when the new one is ready. Robert Parker.
