Wine Spectator
Toasted
vanilla and smoke notes accent raspberry and black cherry fruit in this
sleek red, which has enough tannins for grip. The fresh finish echoes
with dark chocolate and spice. Drink now through 2011.
Score: 90.

Wine Advocate
The
2007 Atteca is sourced from even older Garnacha vineyards (80-120
years). More deeply colored, its nose reveals cedar, smoke, black
cherry, and black raspberry. Medium to full-bodied, ripe and savory, it
conceals enough tannin to evolve for 2-3 years. Although this lengthy
wine can be enjoyed now, it will be at its best from 2010 to 2017.
Score: 89.
