“A very rich and attractively dense garnacha that has a succulent, dark-berry core with such lively, deeply ripe and long tannins. Such depth and great balance. Majestic wine.”

“Deep, shimmering ruby. Smoke- and spice-accented aromas of black raspberry, blueberry and vanilla develop a smoky nuance as the wine opens up. In an expressive, fruit-driven style, offering sweet black and blue fruit and cola flavors and a hint of cracked pepper that adds back-end cut. A floral note appears on the gently tannic finish, which clings with impressive tenacity.”

“Their more approachable wine is the 2016 Veratón, produced exclusively with Garnacha grapes from vines planted in the 1970s and 1980s and fermented with neutral yeasts and matured in new and second use French and American oak barrel for 16 months. This already sets the tone of the house style with plenty of spicy, toasty and smoky aromas, vanilla, coconut, cinnamon, a creamy touch and a round and lush palate with 15% alcohol, abundant tannins and pungent flavors, mostly oak related. It’s clean and has a warm and long finish marked by the alcohol. It’s difficult to see the variety with all this oak. For fans of ripe oaky reds.”

“Tasted blind. WOW! Modern fruit-bomb style from Campo de Borja. It displays chocolate, coffee and sweet carob fruit. Extremely deep and ripe in style. I can feel the Spanish sun and the heat in the glass. What a stream of sweet and creamy fruit! Authoritative wine!” (16.5 out of 20 points)
