Score 93/100 · Drink 2014-2018, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, Dec 2013

The 2011 La Vina de Andres Romero always has a riper character than Cueva del Contador and 2011 is no exception as it's more open, aromatic and approachable, ready to give pleasure with its round, silky tannins and clean flavors and aromas of wild berries. A powerful, yet elegant wine. Drink 2014-2018. The big news this year is that Benjamin Romeo, who is one of the iconic producers of modern Rioja, is bottling a Gran Reserva, a tribute to his mother Carmen, a perfect example of the convergence of the modern and traditional styles to produce great Rioja.
