Clos de l’Oratoire, 2011, Bordeaux
AED 190
8 in stock
“Another up-and-coming, highly respected estate of the Comtes von Neipperg, this 2011 offers copious aromas of spice box, fruitcake, baking spices, sweet cherries and exotic Asian fruits. With an up-front, forward, juicy, medium to full-bodied, fleshy style, it is a treat to drink now, and should continue to age effortlessly for a decade or more. Noticeable tannins in the finish suggest it may age even longer. It is a sleeper of the vintage.” Wine Advocate #212

I like this Reserva from RdD. 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
3.8 stars with more aging potential.
A deep ruby red and purple shades. Thick long legs in the glass.
On the nose medium intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, black raspberries, horse saddle, leather and slightly oak.

This amazing powerhouse from Ribera del Duero. Tinto Pesquera Reserva 2012 - Bodegas Alejandro Fernández. Decanting is advised 👌🍷 delicious cherry, vanilla, leather and cederbox with cigars. Milk chocolat, forrest floor, laurel. Great lenght and depth Amazing wine!

90 pts Given the quality of the Crianza I really was delighted to find this Reserva, needs way more time to fully flower however, still very enjoyable for me now. The Crianza is ready now, but this shows sleeping intensity and great future potential and longevity, wait a few years however.
Typical earthy red fruit with good use of oak, dusty vanilla. Weighty, full with a long finish, it will be a star in the future.
