2020 Alto Moncayo Veraton Garnacha
Campo de Borja, Spain
93 Points, "Exceptional" - Tastings.com:
"Burnt sienna color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate covered cherries, leather, sweet cherry tobacco, and dark roast coffee with a round, crisp, dryish medium body and a warming, interesting, medium-length finish with accents of cherry mole sauce, fig jam, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and and leather with medium tannins and light oak flavor. Bold and ripe with well integrated oak; sure to be a crowd pleaser."
92 Points - James 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."
91 Points - Wine 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. Drink now through 2028. 3,800 cases imported.”
