Alto Moncayo, Campo de Borja 2021

Garnacha from Campo de Borja, Spain

Opaque red-black in color with a scarlet rim. Initially closed on the nose, the wine opens to an amalgam of minerals and unctuous super-ripe berries. Deep, rich and ripe on the palate, where black fruits (cherries, plums) give way to hints of licorice, molasses and a hint of cinnamon. Solid tannins and focused acidity with a long finish.

Professional Ratings

• 92James Suckling

  Slightly tarry on the nose with roasted spices to the dark cherries and strawberries. Medium to full body on the palate with more innate fruit allures and tannins. Shows good balance and length with some fine-grained tannins. Drink or hold.

• 91Wine Enthusiast

  Ruby colored in the glass, this wine has a nose of cassis, anise and smoked meats. Flavors of black raspberry, red plum and crushed violet blossoms all wrapped in a silky tannic sheath that wends its way toward a long-lasting finish.

• 91Wine Spectator

  An elegant red, with a dark fruit core of boysenberry coulis, black plum reduction and dried fig buoyed by fresh, well-cut acidity. Delivers an appealing range of star anise, mocha, dried mint and rose hip notes that add detail and complexity, while lightly chalky tannins firm the graphite- and spice-laced finish
