2004 Propiedad, Bodegas Palacios Remondo

Propiedad is a blend of Garnacha (40%), Tempranillo (35%), Mazuelo (15%) and Graciano (10%) from Rioja Baja. It is a single-estate wine and the flagship cuvee of the property, that has been enjoying a renaissance ever since the acclaimed Alvaro Palacios, of the Priorat fame, turned his attention to his family property in Rioja. Propiedad nose opens up with mulberry, cloves, pepper and coffee aromas, and dried herbs notes. Medium-bodied, with polished, ripe tannins and mouthful of mulberry, spice box, dried herbs, liquorice and black pepper flavours. Approachable now, yet with great development potential over the next 8-10 years.
