2006 Bodegas Ateca Atteca Armas, Calatayud (750ml)

Vivid ruby. Energetic black raspberry and floral aromas are deepened by rooty sassafras and cola. Very spicy on the palate, which offers fresh black and blue fruit flavors, silky texture and gentle mineral lift. Seems more complex than the '05, surprisingly, and finishes with good lingering sweetness. I suspect that this will be best drunk before the '05. 92 Points, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Sep/Oct 08
