About the Montecillo Rioja Gran Reserva 2011 750ml
Ruby red with a noticeable rim. Excellent brightness and clarity. On its first contact with oxygen, it appears clean but reticent. Then, sweet notes of oak appear, cinnamon, clove and candied fruits. Infinite nuances that change with the passage of time. On the palate, it is subtle and pleasant, with great finesse upon entry and through the mid-palate. The tannins are extremely well polished and it has a serene acidity that maintains a long finish.
Pair with white meat, oven-baked fish, cured meat and dark chocolate desserts.
Blend: 92% Tempranillo, 8% Graciano
91 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Smooth plum and berry aromas are easy to appreciate, while this feels really good on the palate due to a comfortable interplay between lushness and lasting acidity. Plum, berry fruit and oak spice flavors run long on a healthy finish. Drink through 2029.
91 Points - Decanter
Robust coffee, liquorice, and dried herbs aromas, followed by vivid morello cherries and game on the palate. Supple, with a core of juicy acidity and a delicate, nutty finish.
