The 2007 Altazor is made up of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Carmenere, with the balance Syrah, Carignan, and Petit Verdot. It too has a Priorat-like personality (Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Carignan are 3 of the 5 permitted grapes in Priorat) with a brooding but potentially complex perfume, dense fruit, savory flavors, exceptional depth and length, and 6-8 years of aging potential. Drink this powerful effort from 2018 to 2027 if not longer. Importer: Vision Wine & Spirits, Secaucus, NJ; tel. (201) 210-0400

3 A big, syrupy five-grape blend that delivers the full allotment of baked, ripe berry aromas followed by a firm, tannic palate housing serious flavors of blackberry, eucalyptus, olive and mineral. Very long and layered on the finish, with acidic zest to keep it pulsing. Drink now through 2015. ——M.S.(6/1/2011)—— 91

The 2006 Altazor Red Blend is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Carmenere, and Merlot. The nose shows off pencil lead, smoke, scorched earth, mineral, and black fruits. Savory and spicy on the palate, the wine reveals incipient complexity, an elegant personality, and a lengthy, pure finish. Drink this classy effort from 2012 to 2021.Importer: Undurraga USA; www.undurraga.cl
