Valduero 2 Racimos Gran Reserva 2011

A supremely elegant, well-integrated and powerful effort at the summit of its achievements. Clean, satisfying drinking with bags of savoury, sweet, ripe and bottle-derived tertiary flavours and complexities. Bravo!

A black fruit aroma melds with a balsamic tone and a hint of road tar on the nose. The palate deals a forceful combination of tannins and acidity, while this Gran Reserva from a hot, dry year tastes of ripe black fruits backed by oak and vanilla. Drink through 2028.
