[SOLD-OUT] Valenciso Rioja Reserva 10 Anos 2012

 

"The subtle, elegant and complex 2012 10 Años Después (10 years after!) matured for four years in concrete followed by four more years in Caucasian oak barrels that polished it. It has an incredible 15% alcohol, which doesn't show at all, and the wine comes through as balanced and elegant, powerful too but with no excess. It finished very tasty. 4,500 bottles were filled in June 2021." - Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate

 

"This pure Tempranillo from the hot 2012 vintage was fermented in concrete before ageing in Caucasian oak. Spicy and well-structured, with leather, tobacco and dark berry fruit flavours and a sweet balsamic finish. Appealingly mature. 2024-35" - Tim Atkin

 

"Interestingly, the extended aging in concrete results in no loss of colour and has only seemed to intensify the wine’s fruit purity and aromatic expression. Meanwhile the striking palate is both silky and savoury—a wonderful harmony of all components. It remains incredibly fresh and youthful with blackcurrant and pine scented fruit and a deep core of iodine-like complexity. It is sheer brilliance that, like all the wines from this exemplary estate, should not be missed. A unique and very special wine." - Bibendum
