The 2008 Aquilon, from a relatively cool and late growing season, starts off with some reductive aromas.. This vintage feels quite different to the others, and is one of the leanest years with only 2,280 bottles produced. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with higher acidity and freshness, but the fruit seems to be drying out a little, so I'd opt for drinking this on the earlier side.

Plush yet restrained, this alluring red delivers rich, ripe flavors of cassis and huckleberry, framed by chocolate and smoke, supported by firm, smooth tannins and lively acidity. Very polished, in the modern style. Drink now through 2013. 350 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Campo de Borja Select to Add
