Borsao Berola 2016

Pamela Chiles rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Edgy, with ripe berry fruit aromas and flavour up front; smoky spice, tongue-crushing tannins and head-clearing alcohol - big and brash. Decant now and drink with meat or save for next summer's barbecue! Tasted January 2021

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Year after year, the Borsao Berola shows quality and drinkability to the amateur of Spanish wine. Made from Grenache and a touch of Syrah, the wine exposes aromas of blackberry, prune, black tea, leather, cocoa and pie crust. The 2016 is full-bodied, showing elegance and polished tannins. Its acidity is well-layered, providing a delicious finish and many food pairing options. Palate: dried strawberry, fig, black pepper, leather, mocha and pie crust. Enjoy!

FBS, NM89,
Loving this full-bodied Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon red wine blend with liquid dark cherry, plum, blackberry, garrigue herbs and smoky, toasty oak flavours on the palate. A juicy blend aged in French and American oak barrels. Berola is the original name for the 12th century monastery of Veruela when the land was first granted to Cistercian monks to tend and plant as vineyards.

Not sure there is any other garnacha (with syrah) from Campo de Borja that bridges the gap between old and new, monasterial knowhow and modern winemaking acumen, Spain and the world. That is Berola, a consistently patent red to capture Aragonese imagination. High-toned, bright and dark at the same time, rambunctious and gregarious, fruity, rocky, juicy and made to match all the tapas and snacks you can find. Terrific cocktail hour red wine. Drink 2020-2023. Tasted June 2020
