This is one of our most popular Spanish reds and delivers unbelievable value for money. With two of the world's most respected wine crtics scoring this 90/100 and 91/100 this shows what tremendous value the wine is ( these scores are very rare to achieve for a wine of this price ) "The 2009 Ateca was sourced from mountainside vineyards ( with vine age from 85 years old ) and aged for 10 months in French oak. It displays aromas of cedar, an earthy minerality, black cherry, and lavender leading to a savory, deep, well-balanced red with succulent fruit and a lengthy, seamless finish. Drink this outstanding value over the next 4-5 years" 90/100 R.Parker
"Deep, bright ruby. Intense red and dark berry aromas are complemented by potpourri and smoky herbs. Broad, palate-coating dark fruit flavors become brighter with air and show a distinctly spicy character. Finishes with very good clarity and juicy persistence, repeating the berry and spice notes. This is a remarkable value. These vines are reportedly between 85 and 125 years old and yield less than a kilogram per vine." 91/100 S.Tanzer
