Bodegas Atteca 2008, Spain
Another great wine imported by Jorge Ordonez!
Toasted vanilla and smoke notes accent raspberry and black cherry fruit in this sleek red, which has enough tannins for grip. The fresh finish echoes with dark chocolate and spice.
The 2008 Atteca was sourced from 80- to 120-year-old head pruned Garnacha vines and aged for 10 months in seasoned French oak. Deep purple-colored, it exhibits an impressive nose of crushed stone, black cherry, and plum. This is followed by a full-bodied wine with layers of savory fruit, spice notes, and silky tannin. This balanced effort will evolve for another 1-2 years and drink well through 2017.
The 2007 was scored 90 points by both Wine Advocate & Wine Spectator. The 2008 has not yet been scored, but this producer has a proven track-record of producing blockbuster Old Vine Garnachas.
