Descendientes de José Palacios Villa de Corullon 2017

The 2011 Corullon nearly jumps from the glass in an explosion of violets, ripe peaches and acid strawberry, the fruit darker, a touch riper, with some organic notes of humus and peat, even mushroom. You can drink it now to enjoy the exuberant, exotic profile of the wine or let it rest for three years and enjoy later. It has superb precision and length. Corullon also benefits from blending different vineyards. Drink 2016-2026.

By Josh Raynolds. Full ruby. Expressive dark fruit and floral aromas are complicated by black pepper and allspice, with a lively mineral undertone adding lift. Sappy and precise in the mouth, offering black raspberry and cherry flavors and building spiciness. The persistent finish features a note of candied flowers and smooth, harmonious tannins.
