Palacios Remondo, Propiedad, Rioja

Surprisingly still alive - excellent bottle, needed a few hours, then held up well and improved over the evening. Deep garnet colour. Ripe, candied fruit, five spice and lead pencil on the nose. Medium bodied, sour plums, and chewy leather/tobacco on the palate with a decent length. More Grenache on the nose and hints off Tempranillo on the finish. Simple and enjoyable on any given day, but pleasantly surprise given low expectations.

2005 vintage

Not much more to add to my note from 2018. Modern style Rioja, very fruit driven, a bit hot. Crowd pleaser, but also a bit boring.

2008 vintage

No wine with broad shoulders. Not too dense. But beautifully build. More the old type of Rioja. Rim: brick. Core: warm red. Taste: Soft roasted red paprika. Caramel. Fig. Mellow plum/mulberry. Integrated laurel gives him length. Now at its peak. Maybe another year? Wish would have bought a few more. Like that type of wine.

2008 vintage

Deep ruby. Nose of dark berries and oak. Medium bodied. Silky tanins, cherry and berries.

2008 vintage

Glass: Riedel Vinum Syrah Drunk over three days. Deep, purple ruby color. Silky, Velvet wine, fruit driven, modern. Not a classical Rioja style. Uncomplicated, good length. Still young, potential for at least 5+ years, but I guess it will not improve. 89-90

2008 vintage

No notes taken. Silky, Velvet wine, fruit driven, modern. Not a classical Rioja style. Very Young, good potential.

2008 vintage

Rioja? Sehr flach und eher langweilig

2008 vintage

This is in a very happy place. Strawberries and earthy, brambly cherry fruit, refined tannins and very good length. Looking very much Rioja from years long gone, for all it's 'modern' credentials

2005 vintage

2008 Palacios Remondo Rioja Propiedad | Light bodied with a ruby hue | Nose of cherries, strawberries, and spice | Extremely silky smooth on the palate, but leaving a bit to be desired in flavor intensity | Overall, this is probably one of the more expensive Riojas I've purchased to date (not that I've purchased expensive Riojas), but it's not one of my favorites. It's good, but not great.

2008 vintage

Pretty nose of violets, dark berries, earthiness, oak notes, and hints of tar. Texturally intriguing, very nice balance backed by excellent acid and good grip.

2008 vintage

The oak flavor overpowered all others - too one dimensional.

2005 vintage

Color rojo cereza, ribete rojizo oscuro, capa media algo baja y fina lágrima abundante sin tintar. Nariz de buena intensidad con agradables aromas de fruta roja madura bien acompañada por unos tostados de la barrica bien integrados, buenos especiados (pimienta roja, pimentón dulce y algo de nuez moscada), suaves balsámicos (eucalipto y algo de granos de anís secos), un conjunto elegante que se redondea con toques de terruño y fresco monte bajo de fondo. Buena entrada en boca con un …

Restaurant Pour: Victoria and Alberts, 2013 ... Deep, rich, purple pour. Full-bodied and lush. Nice tannic backbone. Bright and fruit forward.

2008 vintage

An average Rioja. Too much acidity for my personal taste. However, it is a well structured wine, and with some patience it can evolve throughout the hours, and acidity softens.

2005 vintage

Well done Grenache based wine, smooth red fruits, wild herbs, hints of cola, blueberries, acidic and juicy. Drink nicely with large variety of food, not overpowering. Low tannins.

2008 vintage

Can’t really share the enthusiasm for this wine shown by most of the Spanish professional tasters. An elegant and well-made wine, but absolutely not the quality level that could be expected from this renowned producer. Varietal composition: 60 % Grenache and 40 % Tempranillo. The wine was aged for 18 months in Allier barriques. A medium density wine, garnet red in color with shades of violet on the rim. Aromas of red and black berries, cassis, dried fruit and vanilla …

2008 vintage

Can drink now or wait a couple of years. Notes of dark fruit, plum and dirt. Good tannins and acidity. Medium length finish.

2005 vintage

Russk Vibrant Rioja in Mia at Hotel Intercontinental. 91-

2008 vintage

Purplish, ruby colors with a nose of cedar, violets, and cigar box. The palate is noticeably lighter but more approachable compared to the 2007 vintage. Notes of dark cherry, raspberry, spice and oak with hints of smoke and black tea are evident, but just doesn't come together compared to the '07. Drink now until 2018

2008 vintage

Für diese Preisklasse einer der besten Weine, die ich je getrunken habe. Steht in Farbe, Länge und Abgang den ganz großen spanischen Gewächsen in nichts nach. Man muss dazu noch berücksichtigen, dass sich dieser Wein in den nächsten Jahren noch deutlich weiterentwickeln wird.

2008 vintage

Almost black, with some bubbles kissing the sides of the glass Full bodied, with a high viscosity Some jaminess, subtle fruit filled nose with some underlying hints of wood showing through Silky smooth, well structured, wine with a medium finish. Lighter then it appears. Tastes like it smells. This is the new style of Rioja. The rougher older type characteristics are not present. All in all, a very good wine.

2008 vintage

Cerezas, frutos rojos algo de especias, la madera bien inetegrada, en boca flojo, de cuerpo medio pero excelente para comer.

2005 vintage

Very good, would buy again.

2005 vintage

RUSSK WIC+AJ+wives at LeCordonbleau. Non-BB. Not as good as the 2007. Not bad. Don't buy more of the this vintage.

2005 vintage

Ultra modern rioja with no personality. Could be from anywhere in Spain, even Rhone. Nothing to do with Rioja in my opinion. Just an overextracted wine with a not very pleasant nose of dark berries, vodka and dark chocolate. Tastes the same. I'd rather drink cheap rioja instead.

2008 vintage

Nice Rioja popped and decanted drunk over the next 3 hours, should have decanted this 3 hours ahead of drinking. Deep dark red color. The nose had notes of black cherries, cinnamon sugar, charcoal, blackcurrant, horseradish, earthy and woody. On the palate there was cherries, blackberry, rosemary, peppermint, chocolate and black licorice. Serano ham and cheese was a good pairing with this. 5-10 years will do this well. .

2005 vintage

Held some promise, with elements of cherry, vanilla and a bit of spice the first night. Still a bit tight, however. After a glass I sealed it up for the second night, expecting the flavors to open up. Big mistake. Dead, raisin-like flavors were what I got when I re-opened. Definitely lacking structure. Pop it open now and don't expect much.

2005 vintage

Slight funk, smoke and dark fruit rises in the glass; nice acidity with a bit bite, rounded mouthfeel and gently teeth-coating tannins. Picks up body with air and time. Smokey finish lasts not quite long enough.

2005 vintage

Cor cereja, um pouco más escuro que um Rioja classico. Aromas fruta madura, madeiras, bom equilibrio. Boca potente, saboroso, taninos maduros e final nao muito longo. Muito bem com um churrasco.

2005 vintage

Very nice wine and definitely enjoyable right now since it is well-balanced and already showing enough age. Smooth and nice Rioja type balance of tannins and terroir.

2005 vintage

Best Roija so far. Good blend with garnacha(60%). great nose, long soft legs, soft tannins, deep dark red fruit, OK finish

2005 vintage

In Spain from villa vineteca

2005 vintage

Had at met grill

2005 vintage

Typical dark, sour cherry fruit, with oaky vanilla and spice on the nose. Moderate acidity and light weight, but densely grained mouthfeel. It finished cleanly with a woody funk. The whole thing was pretty boring.

2005 vintage

Dark, Ripe Fruit. Touch of Spice and Oak. Good not Great, although the complexity is good for the price. Above average QPR. Slight essence of a left-bank bordeaux.

2005 vintage

High toned, oak, pepper and dark fruit nose. Palate initially quite sharp, with nice acidic, tannic finish. the next days it toned down. More tree-bark, ink and fruit on the nose, smooth, dark fruit, old oak and spiciness on the finish. Quite enjoyable on the second night but nothing special. If you have a bottle I would wait a year or two before opening one.

2005 vintage

No tasting notes taken, but struck us as having a gamey/meaty smell. Other than that: medium body and tannins, correctly balanced, average finish. Slightly austere as a summer wine, but definitely shows potential to be great in the right context/pairing. [3.75/5]

2005 vintage

Purple with red highlights. Strawberries and pepper nose. Nice cherry taste - not tart. Quickly passes into some oaky tannins, good acid, and a nicely lingering finish. Not quite as balanced as I'd like, but overall very enjoyable.

2005 vintage

Steve brought for Seder dinner 2009. Nice nose with hints of vanilla. A bit soft. Held up ok to gifilta fish but nothing to write home about.

2005 vintage

Iron Chef Night hosted by Arcadia Fine Wine (Scottsdale, AZ) : Violet, charred wood, and band-aid with lots and lots of dark fruit. Clean and polished. All the rave at our table. Pass.

2005 vintage

fresh red berry fruit - more grenache than tempranillo. Nice midweight palate with more berry fruits - not that complex but nice balance and good acidity. Will keep and improve over the next couple of years

2005 vintage

fruity nose - cherry and strawberry. kirsch-like palate. disappears mid-palate. No tannic structure. Didn't come alive with food. disappeared.

2005 vintage

Vanilla, fruit on the nose. Red fruit and creamy palate. Very enjoyable, better the second night.

2005 vintage

WIML88? No tasting note. Purchased at a wine bar by the glass. A little light in style and weight on the palate. Drink or hold.

2005 vintage

Great fruit, body & structure. Classic Rioja. Nice finish & nose. Ordered in Barcelona restaurant.

2005 vintage

Liked it a lot but didn't make notes at the time and was towards the end of the night so memory not too sharp... tasted of cream and blackjacks

2005 vintage

needs some more time. grate mossy undergrowth, some foliage, and chewy red fruit. Can sense that nice oaky/berry/pale/tired Rioja thing in the background.

2005 vintage

Lovely wine with chocolate, mint and red fruits. Very polished.

2005 vintage

Complex, earth, pomegranate, clove, cherry, cinnamon and cider nose. Med-full bodied, dry palate; astringent, toasty finish. Needs time.

2005 vintage

Are you sure?
