The 2005 Corullon “Las Lamas” is purple-colored with an expressive bouquet of earth, mineral, smoke, leather, and blueberry. This is followed by an elegant, ripe, full-flavored wine with excellent depth and concentration. Give it 3-4 years in the cellar to unwind and drink this stylish effort through 2017.
This estate was started in 1998 by Alvaro Palacios. It has steep hillside vineyards and 60- to 100-year-old vines planted in 100% Mencia, a varietal indigenous to Bierzo, a cool-climate D.O.
