The 2016 Aquilon is a great solid wine and is the top wine of Bodegas Alto Moncayo In 2016 the yields were very low and the wine has very concentrated juice. This is a full-bodied and very complex and complete Garnacha, ripe and rich, large and built like a tank. The wine still has "puppy fat" so open no earlier than 2022. The oak beautifully integrated and the Aquilón has plenty of scents and flavors of chocolate, toasted bread and coffee. A very good vintage of Aquilon rewarded with 93 Parker points and 96 Penin points. Only around 5,000 bottles of this vintage were produced. For lovers of the powerful yet elegant work!
