The 2007 Finca Remota came from a 10-acre parcel of 50-year-old vines in Altamira. It received the “150% new oak” treatment with 50% of the wine racked into a set of new barrels for 6 months after a 12 month stay in the first set of new barrels. Purple-colored, it offers up an enticing bouquet of pain grille, pencil led, incense, truffle, black cherry, and black raspberry. Sweet, pure, and elegant on the palate, it has superb concentration and focus, impeccable balance, and a 45-second finish. (JM)
