print cellar notes
Violet, pepper, spice and earth notes make for a dense package from the Mencía grape. Mencía flourishes in Bierzo, and this bottling pays homage to Alvaro Palacio's father.
Wine Advocate
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.
Score: 91.

Wine Enthusiast
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.
Score: 91.
