The 2007 AN/2 is 65% Callet, 20% Mantonegro-Fogoneu, and 15% Syrah aged in 35% new French and American oak. Dark ruby-colored, it displays a bouquet of earth, tobacco, mineral, iodine, black cherry, and blueberry. Supple-textured with some underlying structure, this complex, succulent effort will evolve for 1-2 years and drink well through 2017. Importer: Winebow Inc., New York, NY; www.winebow.com

Roasted and baked on first blush, but then the wine’s complexity and use of unusual Mallorcan grape varieties take over. Along the way there’s flavors and aromas of prune, earth, leather, spice and Mediterranean terroir. It’s also bringing tobacco and leaf notes to the table. A fun, different wine that goes nicely with tapas. Drink now through 2011–12. ——M.S.(12/15/2010)—— 90
