Intense, deep cherry-red with a garnet-red rim. Intense and complex aromas, dominated by fruit (blackberry jam, raspberries and orange zest) that reveals underlying spicy and balsamic notes of cigar box, cedar liquorice, cloves, chocolate mints and toasted wood. Elegantly refined entry. Fresh and lively in the mouth, nicely balanced with polished, silky tannins and a gentle, delicate finish. Very long aftertaste, with citrus and balsamic notes that provide long, complex final sensations.

Description
From an epic Rioja vintage, the 2011 Rioja Alta Reserva is drinking beautifully. Tempranillo (89%) from vines over 60 years old planted in Briñas, Rodezno and Villalba, and Graciano (11%) from their Montecillo vineyard in the municipality of Fuenmayor. This wine is a real stunner, and will be snapped up quickly by the discerning wine collector. Get one before this vintage is all sold out.
