Bodegas Breca 'Brega', Calatayud 2016

94 Points Jeb Dunnuck

Coming from two different sites of incredibly old vines, the 2016 Brega is all Garnacha that was fermented and aged 20 months in mostly new barrels. Deep purple-colored with powerful notes of ripe black fruits, melted licorice, incense, and violets, it’s full-bodied, concentrated, and opulent on the palate, with nicely integrated acidity, a core of sweet fruit, and a great finish. It's a beautiful, elegant, yet incredibly sexy wine to drink over the coming 4-5 years.
