The flagship 2007 Aquilon is 100% Garnacha from hillside vineyards planted between 1910 and 1967. It was also aged for 17 months in new French and American oak. A glass-coating opaque purple/black color, it offers up a brooding bouquet of tar, licorice, pencil lead, Asian spices, black cherry, and black raspberry. Dense, layered, incipiently complex, and powerful, it is more structured than the Alto Moncayo and will benefit from 5-7 years of additional cellaring. It will offer a drinking window extending from 2015-2037. 95 Points, Jay Miller for Robert Parker's Wine Advocate # 188, Apr 2010
100% garnacha) Inky purple. Powerful, mineral-driven aromas of cherry, blueberry, violet oil, licorice and minerals, with a strong overlay of Asian spices. Large-scaled yet elegant, offering sweet dark berry flavors and exotic notes of candied flowers and fruitcake. The mineral element drives the finish, which is broad, sweet and focused. Offers an uncanny blend of power and finesse. (Fine Estates from Spain, Dedham, MA) 95 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Sep/Oct 09.
Intense flavors of black raspberry, ganache, fig and toasted spices are supported by chewy tannins that underpin a velvety texture in this exotic red. Lots of oak and lots of fruit all in balance. Drink now through 2014. 150 cases imported. 93 points T.M. for the Wine Spectator, Online Jun 15, 2010. |
