Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Very colorful and properly ripe, with lush berry aromas backed by coffee notes. The palate is lush and balanced, with deep blueberry, black cherry and cola notes. A truly committed wine with a smooth, unctuous finish as the final chapter.

Alceño Syrah - 2004

This is the type of wine that’s giving resurgent Jumilla a positive reputation. The nose is smoky but still loaded with solid fruit, while the palate bubbles over with pure blackberry and plum. It’s a Monastrell-dominated blend, but it tastes a lot like Tempranillo, which is only 15% of the blend. Very nice overall.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Bulky and a bit stewy, but still balanced enough to earn its positive points. The palate is ripe and sweet, as it oozes with black fruit. Some might call it a touch chunky, but for the most part this blend of Monastrell, Tempranillo and Syrah registers as a highly pleasurable red.

Alceño Red Blend - 2005

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This Monastrell-based rosado is indicative of the Jumilla region, meaning it’s sweet, a bit heavy, and fairly candied in its aromas. Flavors of fleshy raspberry and strawberry are full, while the round finish is neutral. Low in acid; drink right away.

Alceño Rosé - 2005

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Very nice from head to toe. The nose breathes leather, tobacco, berry fruit and spice, while the palate offers evolved, top-tier plum and cherry flavors. Exotic and concentrated, with hints of licorice. Pretty big and rich, but also quite well made.
