The wines bottled under the Cosme Palacio label begin with the one white offering, the 2008 Cosme Palacio 1894 Blanco, made from a co-fermented blend of 95% Viura and 5% Malvasia, which was barrel-fermented and aged for 9 months in French oak. The grapes were sourced from low-yielding vines over 8o years of age. The wine was fermented slowly and not put through malolactic fermentation resulting in a finished wine of 12.5% alcohol. Light gold in color with an alluring bouquet of popcorn, mineral, nutmeg and other baking spices, spring flowers, and pear, on the palate it is round, concentrated, and exceptionally elegant. This intensely flavored, incipiently complex offering is likely to evolve for several years and drink well for 10-15 years. Bodegas Palacio makes some wine (all 100% Tempranillo) under the Glorioso label. Importer: HAB North America; Tel. (561) 289-2852

Heavy, oily and well oaked, but also elegant, elevated and something out of the ordinary. This is barrel-fermented Viura at a high quality level; it’s smooth, creamy and lifted but also acid-rich and lemony, with notes of toast, vanilla, melon and wood resin. A potentially fine wine to drink now with baked or sauteed fish.——M.S.(7/1/2011)—— 90
