90 Points

Sunday, October 28, 2012 - The Palacios Generational Tasting (Salone di Gusto, Torino, Italy): Medium purple, ruby rim, viscous @ 14.5% abv. Medium developing nose of cherries, vanilla, strawberries. and later of cocoa and tobacco, needs time to open its complexity.Off-dry, medium-medium(-) acidity, medium(+)-full body, medium(-) soft tannins, high alcohol, i.e. a poweful wine. Medium(+) rich super ripe flavours of red cherries, strawberries. black pepper, meat and sweet blood notes. Good balance; structure balances complexity. Very good length, rich and almost sweet rich finish. Needs decanting. A very good wine. Drink now and cellar 5+year.
