Notas de "The Wine Advocate" sobre la añada 2016

The 2016 Aquilón was creamy, heady and oaky, just a year younger than the 2015 but with similar parameters and profile, heavily marked by the élevage of two years in new oak. The fruit is ripe and the wine full-bodied and with a warm alcoholic finish. Give it some more time in bottle to calm down a little. For fans of heady and oaky reds. 5,546 bottles were filled in August 2018.

Notas de James Suckling

This shows aromas of graphite, dark fruit, prunes and bark. Full-bodied and extraordinarily concentrated, with good freshness, lots of dark chocolate and plenty of mouth-coating tannins. Despite being such a massive wine, it is still capable of maintaining a sense of balance. For fans of the style. Drink or hold.

Notas de Wine Enthusiast

One of the finest examples of Garnacha in the country, Aquilon is made from 60- to 100-year-old bush-trained vines. It offers bold aromas of purple plum, black tea, olive paste and fenel pollen. It is full on the palate and has a sense of earthiness underlying cassis, blackberry, aniseed and mocha flavors. Simultaneously powerful and elegant, there is an incredible sense of tension between soft acidity and lavish tannins. Drink through 2038.
