Region: DO Campo de Borja, Spain

Style & Winemaking: Medium-full bodied. 30-50 year old vines, aged in oak for 16 months

Flavors: Balsamic, chocolate & black fruits.

Professional Reviews: Wine Spectator 91 Points: "Vanilla, licorice, dried mint, incense and tar notes are a fragrant overtone to flavors of black raspberry and blackberry, dried fig and iron. This is medium- to full-bodied, refreshed by lively acidity and structured by lightly chalky tannins. Drink now through 2031. 5,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported."

Vinous
Brilliant purple. Intensely perfumed, spice-tinged black and blue fruits, vanilla, candied flowers and cola on the nose, along with a smoky element that builds with air. Broad and fleshy on entry, offering juicy cherry cola, blueberry and mocha flavors sharpened by a jolt of spicy white pepper. Strongly echoes the blue fruit and spice notes on the very long, focused finish, which features lingering floral and mineral flourishes.

A 100% garnacha with aromas of dark cherries, plums, raisins, sweet spices and cigar box. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins. Rich, ripe and velvety with a flavorful, spicy finish. Drink now or hold.
