The 2009 Garnacha also spent 10 months in barrel. This layered, saturated effort features black cherry aromas and flavors that fill out as the wine sits in the glass. It can be approached now but will provide pleasure for another 8 years. Although it was only founded eight years ago, Pagos del Moncayo works exclusively with fruit over 80 years of age. Having just made my first trip to Campo de Borja in January, 2011, I can now see what makes that possible. It is a place that seemingly dropped off the planet nearly a century ago (after the vines were planted) and has seemingly only just been rediscovered in the past 10 years. Here old-vine Garnacha is King with bush vines that look like small trees planted on stony soil similar to, dare I say it, parts of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Importer: Axial Wines USA; www.axialvinos.com

此款葡萄酒是抽樣進(jìn)行品嘗的。酒力強(qiáng)勁，香氣撲面而來，帶有陣陣橡膠、煙熏和山胡桃的味道?？诟泻駥嵣铄?，帶有烤黑莓味和稍苦的巧克力味，還散發(fā)著木香。余味濃郁，帶巧克力味，伴有腌肉的味道。評分：88。
