DESCENDIENTES DE JOSE PALACIOS 10 LAS LAMAS
WINE ADVOCATE 95 POINTS - The 2007 Corullon Las Lamas was also aged in 100% new French oak. It proffers a compelling bouquet of sandalwood, mineral, Asian spices, incense, lavender, black cherry, and black raspberry. Satin-textured, multifaceted, and intense, it is full of finesse, elegance, and impeccable balance. It can be approached now but will continue to evolve for several more years. Drink this hedonistic offering through 2022.During the late 1980's Alvaro Palacios travelled his native Spain selling French barriques to winemakers. But his journeyshad a second purpose: to find the best place to achieve his goal of making Spain's greatest wine. He ultimately decided, in1990, on Priorato, where he would achieve worldwide fame with L'Ermita and Finca Dofi. But there had been a closecontender: Bierzo. It had all the ingredients that Alvaro wanted —incredibly steep hillsidevineyards, distinctive terroirs and, most importantly, ancient vineyards of Mencía—a unique red grape believed brought by Frenchpilgrims during the Middle Ages.
