Il Palazzo 2020
Descrizione
Proveniente da un unico appezzamento coltivato su tre livelli o terrazze, da cui prende il nome, El Palacio de Luis Cañas rompe con la tradizione per concentrarsi sulla purezza del terroir. È un rosso di una raffinatezza commovente, in cui la potenza della Rioja Alavesa si addolcisce grazie a una freschezza minerale e a una finezza tannica quasi borgognona. Una delizia ricca di eleganza, storia e del profondo rispetto della famiglia per i vigneti che hanno visto passare le generazioni.

Recensioni degli esperti
This is a lot, but everything is in the right place! 75% Tempranillo, 20% Graciano, 5% Viura, fermented together in a French oak vat, with malolactic fermentation in second-use 500L barrrels and 15 months' ageing also in 500L barrels. Intense red berry and blueberry fruit combine with spicy black pepper to create a layered and complex wine. It speaks to the zone; it is a wine very much from Alavesa (Villabuena de Alava, at about 500m) with direct acidity and impressive spice. Tannins are well managed even if quite grippy now but the wine has lots of life ahead. The oak is high quality and, again, quite obvious but provides all the framing that a wine of this substance requires.
A very fresh and firm Rioja whose highlights are freshness and the chalky quality of the tannins. Crushed stones, racy red berries, white pepper and fine spices. Full-bodied but nothing heavy. Rather fine-boned and uptight, with a firm structure and a long, nuanced finish. Nothing redundant here. Drink or hold.
Part of a very special line up of single parcel wines, El Palacio is a comparatively conventional field blend of Tempranillo with Graciano and a little Viura. Spicy, firm and grippy, it's a little more austere than its stablemates, with firmer tannins and a rustic undertone, but the damson and blackberry fruit is very tasty indeed. 2025-35
