Rating: Robert Parker 95/100
“Deep color, an already complex nose. More concentrated than the 2004 Reserva Especial, it has enough structure to continue evolving for another 6 to 8 years and should even be in top form for its 25th anniversary. As usual, Bodegas Altanza’s production for this vintage is first-rate. ” (Wine Advocate June 2011 - Robert Parker) A great Rioja Reserva from a great vintage!
