Altos del Cuco has an intense, maroon-red color
and aromas of blackberries, mature fruit, and a touch of vanilla and
cinnamon. The tannins are soft and the texture is fleshy with well
balanced acidity and an elegant finish.
Enjoy With: This wine matches well with grilled or roasted red meats, full-flavored game dishes, and mild cheeses.
Wine Enthusiast
Good
but basic wine from southern Spain that shows cherry aromas with a
citrusy twist. The mix is Monastrell with Syrah and Tempranillo, and as
a whole it is composed, with berry, plum and other straightforward
flavors. A plump, friendly sort of wine that isn’t too complicated.
Score: 86.
