“You can sense the vintage’s great maturity on the nose of this 2011 Reserva Selección de la Familia, a very deep red wine with pronounced aromas of black plums, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and nuts—quite oaky and slightly heady. Although the label appears more traditional, the wine’s profile is very modern, with more oak and extract. ” (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker). A truly beautiful bottle! Delivered in a wooden case for any order of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Pickup Point delivery method)

About the wine:

You can sense the vintage’s great maturity on the nose of this 2011 Reserva Selección de la Familia, a very deep red wine with pronounced aromas of black plums, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and nuts; it’s quite oaky and slightly heady. Although the label appears more traditional, the wine’s profile is very modern, with more oak and extract. The finish is dry, and the tannins seem a bit harsh. It may need more time. 154,000 bottles.
