2009 Remelluri Reserva Rioja

Winemaker Notes:  Remelluri Reserva is the original Granja Nuestra Senora de Remelluri estate wine, fruit of the most important vineyards of the property. Great black fruit aromas with complex spiciness. The palate is beautiful with a rich brooding texture.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2009 Remelluri Reserva aims at showing the character of Remelluri, as this is the first modern vintage that does not have grapes purchased from external suppliers. These grapes are now in the Lindes range of wines, but in the past they were blended with the estate grapes. The cool Remelluri vineyards behave very well in warmer years. This 2009 is very clean with predominant aromas of earthy red fruit intermixed with notes of vanilla and cinnamon, a satin texture with round, fine-grained tannins and quite classical and very well-proportioned style. This is a great vintage for Remelluri Reserva."


Wine Enthusiast - "Immediately this smells complete and lusty: aromas of lemon peel, berry fruits, vanilla and char are attractive. In the mouth, this feels robust but blocky and tannic. Flavors of plum and blueberry are peppery and moderately complex, while this is drawing, dry and tannic on the finish. Drink through 2022."
