Pétalos Bierzo Mencía 2018

See my previous note in February 2026. Very similar to now. This is fulsome and savoury at once - black cherry and raspberry. Very easy to like. Like a hypothetical blend of Syrah and Merlot. The herbal savouriness of Syrah with the softness of a supple Merlot. Made by Alvaro Palacios. Love the flamboyant Spanish label. — 18 days ago

Petalos is the wine that introduced me to Alvaro Palacios and the magic he creates.
I buy wines from his portfolio as often as I can.

Purple Angel Colchagua Valley Carménère Petit Verdot

Even at 13 years this is yet as powerful and robust as in its first years.
Loads of blackfruit and chocolate in the nose and some hints of tar.
In the mouth silky, long and a nice acidity to balance. It benefits btw from decanting as it is way better on day 2.
