2017 Bodegas Volver Alicante Tarima Old Vines
92 points Wine Spectator
This bold red features a thick, rich texture, with ripe, heady flavors of currant and blackberry preserves, backed by cocoa, espresso and loamy earth notes. Muscular tannins are well-integrated, with enough orange peel acidity to keep this lively. Harmonious, in a full-throttle style. Drink now through 2027. 10,000 cases made, 9,000 cases imported. — TM

Saturated ruby. Aromas of ripe cherry, boysenberry, licorice and pungent flowers, along with a hint of vanilla. Sappy, broad and well-concentrated, offering plush black and blue fruit flavors braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Smoothly plays power off energy and finishes long and sappy, displaying sneaky tannins and an echoing vanilla note.
