Notas de "The Wine Advocate"

After the otherworldly 2010 comes the 2011 Gran Reserva 890, their longest‑aging red, matured in used American oak barrels for six years and produced only three or four times per decade. It’s mostly Tempranillo with 3% Graciano and 2% Mazuelo, with the Graciano vinified separately. 2011 was a warm, ripe year, but the wine shows medium ripeness and 14% alcohol, with a pH of 3.7 and 5.8 grams of acidity. It has a tertiary nose, with notes of wet fur, leather, truffles, spices, earth and forest floor, decayed leaves and a hint of smoke. The palate is velvety, with fully resolved tannins and a long, very tasty finish. 60,956 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2016.

Notas de James Suckling

2011 is a forgotten vintage after the famous 2010, but you shouldn’t forget it if you are a smart buyer. Aromas of vanilla, orange peel, black walnuts, truffles, toffee, black sesame, balsam and moss. So savory yet juicy and vibrant, with a long, long finish. So much pleasure here. A little less vertical than 2010, but so linear and endless. Drink or hold.
