Aquilon 2006

Aquilon 2006

After sampling, we can guarantee you that this transcendent interpretation of classic Spanish Grenache combines the plush and luscious jammy fruit fans of Napa Cabernets adore with the exotic aromatics and age-worthiness serious wine collectors admire about European treasures. The seductive Aquilon has a splendid perfume of slate, violets, and cherry compote. The off the chart intensity will fool many into thinking this blockbuster wine is from the New World. But the beautiful integration of oak, tannin, and acidity, a smooth texture, layers of flavor, and exceptional length will have you thinking its from another world. This is an absolutely stunning wine well worth a few slots in any serious wine collectors cellar. Drink now after decanting (1 hour) or anytime over the next 10 years, peaking in 2014 in our estimate.
