WINE ENTHUSIAST 95 POINTS - "Deep garnet in the glass, this wine has an enticing nose of black currant, cocoa powder and coffee bean. It offers gorgeous layers of fruit and spice dotted with flecks of chocolate. Powerful tannins gradually mellow out and leave behind touches of cherry and chocolate." — Mike DeSimone
"A bold red in a modern style, offering fine-grained, dense tannins swathed in glossy blackberry and black currant fruit, with fragrant accents of toast, dried sage, melted licorice, smoke and cocoa powder. Long and generous on the palate but well-structured and lively throughout." - Alison Napjus, WINE SPECTATOR
Bodegas Alto Moncayo is a winery located in the area covered by the Campo de Borja Denominación de Origen (DO, wine quality standard). It was founded in 2002 with the aim of turning it into a world reference for Garnacha wines of the highest quality, prepared from native vine clones.
‘Alto Moncayo’ is the flagship of the winery (though they make a special wine above this called "Aquilon"). It is also another single-grape variety of Garnacha, from vines between 40 and 70 years old, aged in new barrels for 20 months. It has a remarkable complex nose, with balsamic aromas, redolent of black fruit, roasted notes and a very good structure in the mouth.
