The 2005 Atteca Armas is sourced from a single Carnacha vineyard planted in 1909 at serious elevation. Malolactic fermentation occurs in new oak. The nose delivers spice box, toast, scorched earth and black cherry. Large-scaled and full-flavored, this powerful effort conceals enough structure to support 3 to 5 years of cellaring and should provide pleasure through 2025.
