2011 Amaren Rioja Tempranillo 60 Reserva - 93 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"(aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months) Deep, saturated red. Mineral-accented aromas of red berry preserves, incense, spicecake and candied flowers show impressive energy and delineation. Sweet, seamless and pliant in the mouth, offering concentrated raspberry, boysenberry and lavender pastille flavors that deepen steadily with air. Rich but energetic as well, with velvety tannins framing an extremely long finish that leaves behind exotic spice and vanilla notes. - Josh Raynolds"

tim atkin logo 250"Densely colored, richly oaked and appropriately concentrated, this pure Tempranillo hails from 60-year-old vines in Samaniego, Leza and Villabuena at between 500 and 600 metres. Toasty, firm and dry, but with the underlying concentration to age further in bottle. 2021-26"

vinous logo"Brilliant ruby. Ripe, oak-accented blackberry and boysenberry compote scents are lifted by suggestions of black pepper, allspice and fresh lavender. Broad and fleshy in the mouth, offering energetic black and blue fruit flavors and hints of mocha and cola. A smoky mineral nuance adds cut and focus to the long, focused finish, which features velvety tannins and a repeating smokiness. - Josh Raynolds"

iwinereview"This wine is a beauty from its complex, perfumed bouquet to its gorgeous silky palate of abundant spicy, dark red cherries and other fruit. While it sees 18 months of new oak, it's well integrated, and the tannins are firm but ripe. Made from 60+ year old vines"

tanzer iwc 91 pts"(100% tempranillo, from vines that are over 60 years old; aged in new French oak): Opaque purple. Smoky cherry and blackberry preserve aromas and flavors, complicated by a suggestion of vanilla and building smokiness. Lush and creamy but firmed by zesty acidity. Vanilla and cola notes dominate the broad, persistent finish, which shows excellent clarity and persistence."
