Criticism
Luis Gutiiérrez, Robert Parker's wine critic, writes: "The NV Palo Cortado Cardenal VORS, like the entire VORS collection from Valdespino, is outstanding. It is fed from the solera of the Palo Cortado CP, where the Palomino grapes come from the Macharnudo Alto vineyard and fermented in American oak botas It has 22% alcohol and nine grams of (undetectable) residual sugar, making it very drinkable. It is a monumental wine of dark mahogany color with a green rim, a complex, ever-changing, concentrated, clean and well-defined nose with spices , dark chocolate, Cuban cigars and balsamic notes of incense and a sharp, salty palate. It is highly concentrated, powerful and clean, with an eternal, lingering aftertaste. Deciding between Coliseo and Cardenal is a splitting hair, and as much as I love Coliseo , Cardenal is one step better in my opinion. It is at the top of the quality of Palo Cortado.
