Bodegas Borsao
Monte Oton Campo de Borja Garnacha
Campo de Borja, Aragón, Spain
#AgedWineTuesday
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nose of plums, cherries, currants, spices, light oak, licorice, dark coffee, earth, herbs and peppercorn.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black and red fruits, earth, light oak, licorice, chocolates and coffee.
Medium length on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 15 year old Spanish Garnacha, drinks very fresh. Has a lot of sediments in the bottle, but otherwise I would have guessed it was a 2015 vintage.
Not showing too much complexity, and will probably be still drinkable in the next 5 to 10 years, although there is no reason to wait. I had it a couple of years ago and it is still drinking nicely.
Tasty and easy drinking with mild complexity. A nice easy red to start the evening with.
Needed 45 minutes in the decanter to show the nice tannins. Good by itself or with food.
100% Garnacha grapes.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
