| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Slightly spicy, somewhat cooked, baked plum nose with some sandalwood-cedar notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, slightly spicy, bright, plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, gently cedar finish. This 14.5% alcohol blend of 70% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah and 10% Grenache was aged three months in small French oak with lot number DT956137 on the back label. TONY ASPLER / 88-points / TRY - Dense purple-black in colour; cedary nose of black fruits; medium-bodied, dry, plummy, firmly structured with lively acidity. |

| Most red grapes have white juice, but Garnacha Tintorera - the Spanish synonym for Alicante Bouschet - is one of the few to have red juice. TASTING NOTE: The 2014 Campo Arriba comes from one of the highest elevations in Yecla and it's a blend of 70% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah and 10% Grenache aged three months in small French oak. This winery, started in 1925 by the Candela family, has really hit pay day with this amazing value. Blackberries, blueberries, acacia flowers, and chalky minerality dominate the aromatics and flavors. It is full-bodied, the price is absurdly low for a wine of this quality, and I suspect it can age nicely for another 5-6 years, although its true value is its exuberance, fruit purity and density. Drink Date: 2016-2022. Score - 93 (Robert Parker Jr., robertparker.com, Nov. 29, 2015) |
