Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2005

Red-ruby. Spicy raspberry, black cherry and licorice on the nose. Dense and sweet, with a layered texture and surprising freshness for the vintage. Finishes with broad, dusty tannins and very good length.

Score 90/100 · Drink 2005-2011, Robert Parker, Jun 2005

A great introduction to Palacios’ style, is the 2003 Les Terrasses, a blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Carignan, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. A beautiful wine aged 12 months in primarily French, and some American oak, it is a supple-textured, sexy, seductive, deep ruby/purple-tinged offering exhibiting ripe notes of black cherries, currants, licorice, and minerals. Opulent, round, juicy, and alluring, it will drink well for 4-6 years. Importer: The Rare Wine Co., Sonoma, CA; tel. (707) 996-4484
