The 2019 Glorioso Reserva has depth and power with great purity of fruit and finely textured round tannins. You can understand why the vintage was classed as excellent – high quality tempranillo grapes aged in French and American oak deliver sweet red cherry, liquorice and a refreshing finish – a perfectly blanaced and polished Rioja – everything you would want from a classic reserva. Bodegas Palacio was founded in 1894 by Don Cosme de Palacio who went on to establish Ribero del Duero`s legendary Vega Sicilia. Acquired by Hijos de Antonio Barcelo, one of Spain`s largest winemaking conglomerates, in the 1990s, there has been much investment, allowing Palacio to expand, modernise and thrive.
