Pétalos del Bierzo 2016 Magnum
Descripción
Puede que este sea el vino más famoso de Álvaro Palacios, considerado uno de los mejores enólogos de España. Pétalos del Bierzo es un vino jovial y fragante, que transmite a la perfección todos los matices del Bierzo. Viñas viejas cultivadas en tierras de pizarra escarpadas y rocosas de las que se extrae lo mejor de la Mencía y el resto de variedades que componen el coupage de este tinto amable, elegido por Robert Parker en 2015 el vino con mejor relación calidad-precio del mundo. En esta añada 2016 estrena etiqueta, diseñada por el pintor Xano Armenter.

Opinión de los críticos
Very refined and sublimely understated, with finely-poised acidity enlivening spicy blackberry fruit, ingrained with carefully managed oak. Very appealing and well made.
I tasted two vintages of their entry-level wine because the 2016 Pétalos del Bierzo was sold out and the 2017 has already been released. Depending on the vintage, they use more or less white grapes in the fermentation, and in 2016 it was around 6%. It has an elegant profile, clean, floral and spicy, with a soft palate and subtle acidity that gives it a kick and makes it longer. This is one of the best value wines in Spain, and 2016 is not an exception. Perhaps it won't be the longest-lived vintage, but it's drinking beautifully and gives a lot of pleasure. It's somehow reminiscent of 2013 or 2014, perhaps a tad warmer. There were a whopping 318,000 bottles and 3,000 magnums, which means they had 1,568 barrels of this wine.
