Bodegas Montecillo Description
Montecillo Gran Reserva is a classic Rioja wine, selected from exceptional vintages to craft an elegantly complex and exquisitely proportioned wine. Clean and brilliant, deep ruby red wine, very perfumed with mature fruit aromas. Complex and elegant. Satin textured, showing fine tannins and a seductive leather palate. Sleek and refined liquorice tinged finish.
Modest but classy raspberry, plum and oak spice aromas get this gran reserva going in the right direction. A full-bodied palate reveals edgy tannins, while this tastes lightly toasted and blackened, with plum and berry fruit at the foundation of a long, steady finish.
Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
Smooth plum and berry aromas are easy to appreciate, while this feels really good on the palate due to a comfortable interplay between lushness and lasting acidity. Plum, berry fruit and oak spice flavors run long on a healthy finish.
