Bodegas Altanza Description
Bright cherry-red color. Great aromatic complexity due to its long ageing. On the nose you find aromas of spices and such reduction leading to a slight hint of leather, and smoked aromas. The wood also provides memories of cocoa, toasty and coffee. His entry into the mouth leaves a nice wine, charming, powerful with good acidity and well balanced. From soft sweet tannins it has a smooth entry, nice fresh with long aftertaste.
Ideal for small snacks and spiked elaborate haute cuisine. All kinds of meat, stews, meats, vegetables and cheese.
Decanter Magazine: 96 Points
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
"Dark ruby in the glass, this wine has a nose of dark plum and pomegranate. It feels well balanced across the palate, with mid-weight tannins, flavors of pomegranate, raspberry, milk chocolate, orange zest, toasted almond, and a bright finish."
James Suckling: 92 Points
"Blueberries, fresh blackberries, orange peel, crushed stones and sweet spices follow through to a medium to full body that unleashes lots of succulent red-berry fruit with smoothly wound tannins. Bright acidity gives it a kick. Quite long and subtle."
Vinous: 92 Points
"Opaque ruby. Oak-spice-accented aromas of ripe red and blue fruits and violet, along with smoke and vanilla overtones. Sweet and focused in the mouth, offering chewy blueberry and cherry preserve flavors sharpened by a peppery flourish. Smoothly melds richness and vivacity and finishes long and smoky, with a lingering sweetness and dusty tannins that add a closing grip."
