Lot #691. Bodegas Palacio Rioja Reserva Especial 1935

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Region: Spain, La Rioja, Rioja.
Score: 92 JG.
"This was another venerable old bottle of Rioja from the cellar of Peter Joseph and it was drinking beautifully this past summer. The nose is deep, pure and transparent, offering up scents of cherries, blood orange, nutskins, lovely spice tones and a fine base of soil. On the palate the wine is medium-full, pure and tangy, with impressive depth for its age, a silky palate impression and very good length and grip on the complex and classy finish. I do not know anything about the history of Bodegas Palacio back in this day and age, so I am not sure if they utilized a bit of a solera system with their oldest wines back then, but this bottle was drinking splendidly. " John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Sep/Oct 2011, Issue #35
Provenance: The Haro Cellar
Notes: Very top shoulder, lightly scuffed capsule, lightly wrinkled, lightly damps stained, very lightly scuffed label.
