“The
superb 2002 Aquilon is a selection of old vine Grenache from hillside
vineyards. A gorgeously complex perfume of kirsch liqueur, black raspberries,
cassis, minerals, flowers, and sweet oak is followed by a full-bodied,
massively-endowed, pure, textured, well-balanced wine. Given the limited
production and high quality of this fabulous effort, its high price can not be
considered unfair. It should drink well for a decade. Australian winemaker
Chris Ringland oversees the winemaking at this estate, a superb new discovery
by broker Jorge Ordonez. This full-throttle, robust, exuberant,
super-concentrated 100% Grenache offering may be the finest wine to ever emerge
from this backwater Spanish appellation.” 96
Points, Robert Parker
"Saturated medium ruby. Roasted blackberry, grilled nuts, minerals and smoky oak on an explosive nose. Thick, dense, creamy; supersweet, liqueur-like flavors of dark berry and maraschino cherry. Lush, mouthfilling, sappy and vibrant." Stephen Tanzer
