Description

Located in Laguardia,between the Sierra Cantabria mountains and the Ebro river,Bodegas Palacio is at the heart of a group of wineries set up in 1894,today making wines in Ribera del Duero,Rueda and Toro,as well as Rioja. The location bodes well for its Tempranillo grapes,grown on high-altitude,chalky clay soils with a south-facing aspect,all in Rioja Alavesa. New French oak barrels are used in the ageing process,which lasts at least 24 months, followed by further ageing in bottle.Great Gran Reserva Rioja,such as this 1978 Glorioso can age wonderfully for 40 + years.


"A lovely decadent style which is juicy and appetising in the mouth, leading to a clean finish. For a wine that is almost 40 years old this deserves an accolade".
(95 Points).

Pedro Ballesteros MW. (Decanter. 14/7/2017).



"1978, what a treat! This is all about what Rioja can do. Graceful, elegant and berry fruited with citric freshness in a slightly rustic style".
(95 Points).

Sarah Jane Evans MW. (Decanter.14/7/2017).



"A light, delicately framed gran reserva of considerable age and finesse, this retains remarkable vigour and freshness. A delight".
(95 Points).

Pierre Mansour. (Decanter. 14/7/2017)



"What an absolute delight to taste such fully mature wines like this Gran Reserva. Built upon serene development, there are sous-bois notes and plenty of mushrooms. A lovely curiosity full of truffles and smoke, but still amazingly fresh".
(93 Points).

Pedro Ballesteros.MW. (Decanter. 12/12/2016).
