The 2008 Propiedad is made up of 60% Garnacha and 40% Tempranillo sourced from the estate’s older vines and aged for 14 months in 100% French oak. It reveals an inviting nose of balsam wood, tobacco, lavender, incense, black cherry, and black raspberry. This leads to a smooth-textured, ripe, spicy, layered offering that has good grip, a bit of complexity, and a medium long finish. It is likely to evolve for 1-2 years and will deliver prime drinking from 2012 to 2023. The Palacios Remondo wines are made by the renowned Alvaro Palacios from the family’s home estate in Rioja.Importer: Folio Fine Wine Partners, Napa, CA; www.foliowine.com
