BODEGA ALTO MONCAYO GARNACHA - 2009

100% Garnacha. 16% alcohol, from Campo De Borja.

TASTING NOTES:

Dark purple, rich wine with chocolate covered raisins, prunes, figs, licorice, blackberries, plum, spices, vanilla,  espresso-balasmic vinegar, and berries.  Elegance and power combine into an explosive effort and a finish that echoes.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

94 PTS
For $35 a bottle, this has all the class and complexity of much more expensive bottles.  Alluring, seductive and delicious.
