| "The vineyards at Bodegas Palacios Remondo, located in the Rioja Baja D.O., are organically farmed and the wines are bottled unfiltered and unfined. The 2005 Placet Blanco is made from 100% Viura aged in large old oak foudres. It has attractive lemon/lime aromas with a touch of honey along with abundant quantities of ripe, melon-like fruit. The wine has sufficient acidity and good length. Drink it over the next 1-2 years." Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Feb. 2007.
"Bright straw. Floral, spicy, fresh nose offers scents of white peach, tangerine and vanilla bean. Plump and juicy, with a pretty orange and tangerine quality framed by lively acidity. This tangy and persistent wine is drinking nicely right now." Steven Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Sep/Oct 06. | |
