2011 | La Rioja Alta S.A. Gran Reserva 890 | Rioja Montagny Premier Cru The De Boel family uses2011 is a forgotten vintage after the famous 2010, but you shouldn't forget it if you are a smart buyer. Aromas of vanilla, orange peel, black walnuts, truffles, toffee, black sesame, balsam and moss. So savory yet juicy and vibrant, with a long, long finish. So much pleasure here. A little less vertical than the 2010, but so linear and endless. 98 Pts James Suckling
