2022 Villa de Corullón, Descendientes de J. Palacios, Bierzo, Spain

2022 Corullón already feels gorgeous from the nose. Aromas of fresh red and black fruit mingle with gloriously fragrant and lifted notes of garden thyme, wild mint and sage. The palate is just so elegant, with a lovely fruit weight yet a focused line of slate. The cranberry fruit feels somehow concentrated yet delicate simultaneously with a blueberry lift, vibrant purity, and fresh red apple. Carefully crafted, grainy tannins resolve seamlessly on the slightly savoury yet still juicy finish. This really is a delicious Corullón.
