Bodegas Barbadillo ‘Criadera Selection’ Palo Cortado En Rama

JS95 Aromas of saddle leather, salted caramel and toffee unfold alongside subtle oxidative notes. The palate is concentrated and luscious, with incisive, balanced acidity derived from volatile compounds that lift and define the wine’s richness. Layers of roasted nuts, dried orange peel and a touch of bitter almonds on the mid-palate, leading to a persistent finish. This will hold, but can be enjoyed now.
WA94 Barbadillo is somehow a specialist in Palo Cortado, and they now offer a younger, gentler and more straightforward NV Palo Cortado Criadera Selection from the Tío Río solera. It’s an elegant oxidative wine, with an average age of 14 years, with a peachy nose, gentle and tender, but with a more saline and sharper palate with a bitter twist in the finish. It has an Oloroso nose and an Amontillado palate. 906 bottles were filled in March 2024.
