Montecillo Reserva Rioja 2012

Winemaker Notes:
Clean and brilliant, deep cherry red with russet rim. Spicy notes, vanilla and black fruits mingled with liquorice and mint nuances. Good structure and elegant tannins. Long finish for a sheer class wine.
This wine is an ideal companion for grilled or barbecued red meat and all types of stew, including slightly spicy dishes. A powerful wine, it also enhances the flavor of rich and fish dishes.

92pts- James Suckling:
Blackberry with some granite-like, savory notes and black tea, too. The palate is full-bodied and lightly chewy. Needs a year or two to soften.
