Palacios Remondo 2008 La Montesa (Rioja)

Country: Spain / La Montesa
Variety: Red Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Palacios Remondo / Rioja

The tough conditions of the 2008 vintage are reflected in this scratchy wine. Plum is the key fruit aroma, and that’s followed by a tight, firm body with toasty oak, black fruit flavors, herbal notes and peppery spice. Quick and a touch hot on the finish.
