Descendientes de J. Palacios, Bierzo (Castilla y León, Spain) Villa de Corullón 2004

($50, The Rare Wine Company): Despite packing lots of power, the Villa Corullón retains its elegance and class.  Made entirely from estate grapes grown in vineyards scattered throughout the village, it has added spice and minerality complemented by freshness of fruit.  Slightly tarry elements appear in the finish.  Still young and tightly wound, it needs a few years to unfold. 92 Michael Apstein Aug 28, 2007
