Alto Moncayo Veraton 2005
E-mail this item from Union Square WinesAlto Moncayo Veraton 2005 Brilliant ruby in the glass, with aromas of dark cherry and mulberry, cinnamon and pepper with a wiff of old leather. Smooth and well balanced in the mouth, there is a core of great mulberry and cherry fruit with some black pepper, herbs and gamey, animal nuances. Tannins are there, but well integrated and smooth. The finish is very long, surprisingly long. Wine Advocate The 2005 Alto Moncayo Veraton is 100% Garnacha aged in new French and American oak for 17 months. Dark ruby-colored, it exhibits an alluring nose of toasty new oak, mineral, spice box, black cherry, and black raspberry. This leads to a wine bordering on opulence, with layers of fruit, some structure, and a long, pure finish. Drink it over the next 8-10 years. Score: 93. —Jay Miller, February 2008.International Wine Cellar Inky purple. A heady bouquet evokes ripe red berries, anise, mocha and pungent fresh flowers. Supple and sweet on entry, then more structured in the middle, offering deep, mineral-accented dried strawberry and cherry liqueur flavors. Takes a spicy turn on the long, sappy finish, which echoes the pure red berry qualities. The oak (all new) is almost shockingly understated, perhaps thanks to the reported four-year aging of the staves. 92 points Score: 92. —Josh Raynolds, Wine Spectator Cocoa and coffee oak notes give way to dark fruit flavors of plum and blackberry in this modern red. The texture is plush, but the structure is firm and balanced. Lively. Drink now through 2010. 500 cases made. Score: 90. —Thomas Matthews, April 30, 2008.
