The 2007 Altazor is made up of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Carmenere, with the balance Syrah, Carignan, and Petit Verdot. It too has a Priorat-like personality (Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Carignan are 3 of the 5 permitted grapes in Priorat) with a brooding but potentially complex perfume, dense fruit, savory flavors, exceptional depth and length, and 6-8 years of aging potential. Drink this powerful effort from 2018 to 2027 if not longer. Importer: Vision Wine & Spirits, Secaucus, NJ; tel. (201) 210-0400

3 A big, syrupy five-grape blend that delivers the full allotment of baked, ripe berry aromas followed by a firm, tannic palate housing serious flavors of blackberry, eucalyptus, olive and mineral. Very long and layered on the finish, with acidic zest to keep it pulsing. Drink now through 2015. ——M.S.(6/1/2011)—— 91
