L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

Not far off from the phenomenal 2010, the 2011 Reserva was cropped from a much warmer and riper vintage and it shows. This is the cuvée that represents the house style and wants to showcase the landscape of their estate, blending grapes from their 108 hectares of vineyards located at altitudes ranging from 550 to 800 meters altitude, with vines aged between 35 and 80 years. It's mostly Tempranillo with some Garnacha and Graciano, fermented with natural yeasts and aged in barrel for some 16 months before being bottled. There are aromas of damson plums and plenty of spices, quite ripe and heady, a little cooked. The palate is lush and round with abundant, dusty tannins. This is a powerful vintage. 300,000 bottles produced. - Luis Gutiérrez.

Suckling:

This is very tannic and powerful with a full body, and a solid backbone. Dark berry and chocolate undertones. Hints of wet earth. Needs time to come together still. Tannic. Decant before serving or wait until 2020.

Jeb Dunnuck:

A solid value, the 2011 Remelluri Reserva is a rounded, sexy wine that delivers loads of pleasure. Blackberries, plums, ground herbs, licorice, and a touch of violet notes all emerge from this medium to full-bodied Rioja that’s ideal for drinking over the coming 7-8 years or so. It’s fruit-loaded yet also balanced and classic Rioja.
