WINE DESCRIPTION

Likely the most elegant and finest Aquilon in 20 years! The top Garnacha from Alto Moncayo still delivers its full, velvety charm with plenty of black fruit and subtly sweet spices. However, on the palate, this red wine from Campo de Borja plays with these flavors, making them almost dance on the tongue. It boasts a body and structure that allow the ample charm to shine but set enough boundaries to provide depth and length that is truly exceptional. One can only tip their hat to this exceptional red wine!
