Remelluri Rioja Reserva (2015)

The wine comes through as clean and defined, with a medium to full-bodied palate, focused flavors, and a very long, dry, and lively finish. 2015 was an exceptional vintage at Remelluri that is certain to continue to evolve in bottle for decades to come. 2015 was an atypical yet gratifying year with particularly good grape health, combining youthful fruit with complex aromatics and developed flavors, power with elegance. 

Grapes: Tempranillo 80% / Garnacha 9% / Graciano 11%

Tasting Notes

94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The estate red 2015 Reserva was produced with Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano from their 86 hectares of vineyards. It's from an early harvest after a warm and dry year that achieved perfect ripeness with some rain at the end of the cycle. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and oak vats and matured in barrel for 21 months. It combines youth with development, power with elegance and comes through as clean and defined, with a medium to full-bodied palate, focused flavors and a dry but lively finish.

94 James Suckling
Ripe and beautiful with ripe berries, hazelnuts and spice. Some crushed stone, too. Full-bodied, yet tight and focused. Generous and racy. Goes on for minutes. Drink or hold.
