Here, the wine is fermented and aged in a large, old 22 HL foudre and encouraged to finish its malolactic fermentation. Given the incredible vine age, this wine often displays the most haunting complexity and depth of the single vineyards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo 2025 review yet - \u003cem\u003e\u003cu\u003eHere is the 2023\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e review for comparison of a similarly warm growing season:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 pts Robert Parker WA \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e(2023)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDrink Date: 2025 - 2035\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2023 El Palomar has an intriguing savory note on the nose, perhaps chicken broth (which to me means umami). Going much further than the varietal notes here, it's nuanced and complex and with a super serious, austere and mineral palate, like liquid granite. This is truly impressive, seamless and complete, with ripeness and full development of aromas and flavors but in an elegant and subtle way. 2023 is stunning. It should age magnificently in bottle; it has the stuffing and the balance between all the components to do so.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cu\u003eTHE track record\u003c\/u\u003e...\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2023: 97WA  2022: 95WA\u003cbr\u003e2021: 97WA  2020: 97WA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2019: 96WA  2018: 96WA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rias-Baixas Galicia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67765106245766,"sku":"ADV-Zarate-Palomar","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/products\/ZaratePalomar.jpg?v=1763966183","url":"https:\/\/www.winesolutions.com\/products\/bodegas-zarate-el-palomar-albarino-2025","provider":"Wine Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
