Excellent oak-centric style in the old wave of Rioja, with red fruit, tea-leaf and layers and layers of vanilla on the finish. So lengthy! It might not be trendy, but it's so satisfying. (RH)

There are more Mediterranean aromas in the 2011 Reserva, and the fruit feels riper and the wine more developed, as you can expect from a very warm year like 2011. It's full-bodied, and there are some dusty tannins that make it all the way to the finish. This is a ripe and powerful vintage that needs powerful food. However, I'd drink this sooner rather than later, as I'm not sure if the fruit would dry out before the tannins are fully resolved.
