The 2007 Amaya Arzuaga Coleccion is not up to the lofty standard of the 2006 but is still an outstanding wine. It was sourced from 3 vineyards over 60 years of age and raised in new French oak for 20 months. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it delivers a super-expressive nose of licorice, espresso, truffle, Asian spices, incense, and blackberry. On the palate it is just a bit dilute (2007 was a challenging vintage in this DO) but what is there is quite tasty. It has a bit of structure and good balance. It should drink well from 2012 to 2022.
