Cosme Palacio Crianza 2018

Just outside Laguardia, between the mountains of the Sierra de Cantabria and the meandering river Ebro, the Bodegas Palacio winery is known for bringing together tradition and innovation to produce a range of wines which offer a unique example of harmony, balance, and expressiveness. The winery's crianza, a single-variety Tempranillo, is considered to be one of the first Rioja signature wines in history. First conceived in the mid-1980s by the renowned winemaker Michel Rolland, this wine still maintains the same dynamic spirit it was born with back then. Aged in new French oak barrels, the Crianza from Cosme Palacio has an intense deep red colour with purple hues; a bright and lively wine. Intense aromas and a firm concentration of fruit sit alongside hints of ripe red fruit and sweet spiced sensations over a background of vanilla and eucalyptus. An energetic wine brimming with personality, it fills the mouth with fruity flavours, wrapped in silky tannins to give a delicate, elegant, and mouth-watering wine. Persistent, with a long, wide and balanced finish.
