"Montecillo Gran Reserva is a classic Rioja wine, selected from exceptional vintages to craft an elegantly complex and exquisitely proportioned wine. Clean and brilliant, deep ruby red wine, very perfumed with mature fruit aromas. Complex and elegant. Satin textured, showing fine tannins and a seductive leather palate. Sleek and refined liquorice tinged finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The ultra-red 2010 Gran Reserva had all the textbook aromas of a long development in barrel and bottle and the polished texture and resolved tannins the category is famous for, with the depth and clout of a great vintage. Exactly what you expect." —Wine Advocate "Assertive dark fruit with ripe plums and mulberries, as well as currants and riper, prune-like notes. The palate delivers earthy flavors in a very rich array of smooth tannins." —James Suckling "Modest but classy raspberry, plum and oak spice aromas get this gran reserva going in the right direction. A full-bodied palate reveals edgy tannins, while this tastes lightly toasted and blackened, with plum and berry fruit at the foundation of a long, steady finish." —Wine Enthusiast |
