SPECIAL SELECTION RESERVA 2011 DO Ribera del Duero |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CONVENTO SAN FRANCISCO |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, very cedary, complex, intense, baked ripe plum nose with some mocha-chocolate notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, dense, well structured, slightly spicy, dried ripe plum flavours with a lingering, cedary, high acid finish. This 100% Tinto del Pais (aka Tempranillo) (no Cabernet Sauvignon) has 15% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L-0111 on the back label. It was bottled in July 2014 and there are only 2,327 bottles. Ready to enjoy but capable of lasting many more years. |

TASTING NOTE: The 2011 Selección Especial from Convento San Francisco might be referred to as Selección Especial or Reserva Especial even if those words do not show on the label. It's produced with a selection of old vines. It has a Reserva profile of a longer élevage produced before in 1999, 2004 and 2005. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in 5,000-liter stainless steel tanks and matured in French barriques for 20 months. It has very good freshness for the vintage and the tannins are polished, lending it a soft texture, with moderate to good acidity. Very good for the year and category. Drink Date: 2017-2021. Score - 92 (Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com, Feb. 28, 2017) |
