Legado del Moncayo Campo de Borja Garnacha 2023

John Gilman : 91 Points

(4/2024) The 2023 Garnacha Tinto from Legado del Moncayo is again made from high altitude vineyards, with these twenty-five year-old vines planted between five hundred-sixty and six hundred meters above sea level. The wine is fermented and raised in stainless steel and the new vintage comes in at fourteen percent octane. The wine offers up a deep and vibrant bouquet of red and black raspberries, smoked meats, a bit of fruitcake, lovely spice tones, stony soils and a top note of bonfire. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and rock solid at the core, with good soil undertow and grip, ripe tannins and a long, complex and very well balanced finish. This is an outstanding bottle of Garnacha that puts to shame many an example of Châteauneuf du Pape these days! Great value.
