It's only wine but I like it

A balanced red again from Palacios, with little oak affecting the herb-inflected dark mencia fruit. Quite structured and a bit austere at the moment. Not quite up to the 2012 to my taste, but I do believe that I opened this a bit early. I suspect anther 2 years will allow this wine to blossom. Tasted Nov 2017.
