Bodegas Alto Moncayo
Aquilon Campo de Borja Garnacha
Campo de Borja, Aragón, Spain
For international Grenache day, that was yesterday, here is a delicious Garnacha from Spain.
Full bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with great complexity and mouthfeel.
Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, earth, spices, tobacco, chocolates, coffee, cola, vanilla, mocha and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This 10 year old is rich, extracted, engaging and fruit forward. Feels like a Napa Cabernet based Bordeaux blend.
Wine Spectator 94 points. Robert Parker 94 points.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Good by itself as a sipping wine. Just gorgeous.
100% Garnacha grapes were aged in (70%) French and (30%) American oak barrels for 2 years. A very small production of only a few barrels.
16% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$150.

What you really expect from a magnificent garnacha. What the Spanish are doing to garnacha is incredible in Catalonia and Aragon .
