Alto Moncayo Campo de Borja Garnacha 2005
Wine Advocate
The 2005 Alto Moncayo is a selection of older Garnacha vineyards. Purple colored, it is more expressive aromatically with enticing aromas of pain grille, spice box, floral notes, black cherry and black raspberry. Richer, more layered, and intense, this superb effort has a 60+ second finish. Give it 2-3 years to unfurl and drink it through 2020.
Score: 95.

International Wine Cellar
Opaque ruby. Ripe raspberry and cherry aromas are complicated by fresh rose, vanilla and mocha. Deeply concentrated and slow to open, offering deep, liqueur-like red and dark fruit character. Supple tannins add structure to this exotic, youthful fruit bomb, which finishes bright and clingy. Needs a couple years of bottle aging. 92(+?) points
Score: 92.

Wine Spectator
Rich yet lithe, this red is plush yet remains graceful and nervy, thanks to the energy of its acidity. There's plenty of cocoa and spice from oak, but it's the blackberry and cassis fruit that lingers. Drink now through 2012. 600 cases made.
Score: 91.
