  From magnum, that right size. Wasn't decanted. Six years since last regular bottle. Pristine cork (pictured). Perfect crystal crimson colour with orange rims. Once again lovely aromas of blood oranges, animal fur, clove, smoky cherry coke, cinnamon, mahogany, rosemary, ... endless complexity. Unique perfume. MIA*POW coconut and dill, you are never forgotten.
  On the palate shows like a younger rioja with a silky texture, central acid that ended on the throat. Delicious and deep.
  Definitively a bit over the hill, just that right place I adore. This bottle reaffirm my idea: best vintage for a reserva Remelluri ever. At least personal best. Still a few lucky owners remaining ... Vintage Port-like sediments by the way.
  
  De una magnum, esa medida perfecta. No fue decantado. Seis años desde la última botella normal. Corcho prístino (en la imagen). Perfecto color carmesí transparente con ribetes naranjas. Una vez más, aromas de naranjas sanguinas, pieles de animales, clavo, cola de cereza ahumado, canela, caoba, romero, ... complejidad sin fin. Un perfume único. Coco y eneldo desaparecidos en combate / prisioneros de guerra, nunca seréis olvidados.
  En boca se muestra como un rioja más joven con una textura sedosa, acidez central que termina en la garganta. Delicioso y profundo.
  Definitivamente un poco pasadito, ese lugar perfecto que adoro. Esta botella reafirma mi idea: la mejor añada para un Remelluri reserva hasta la fecha. Al menos para mí. Afortunados los dueños de las botellas restantes. Por cierto, sedimentos como en un oporto vintage.

  Meine letzte Magnum, noch nicht müde sollte aber ausgetrunken werden. Feine rotbeerige Frucht, Leder, Tabak Vanille in der Nase. Gute Balance am Gaumen, mürbe Frucht, mineralisch-würzig, das Tannin ist vollständig aufgelöst. Sehr schöner Wein.

  Aus der Magnum zum Weihnachtsbraten, schöner Tischwein. Eher leicht und elegant, feine, rotbeerige Frucht, etwas Leder, Tannin komplett aufgelöst. Jetzt trinken.

  More elegant and less full-bodied than the 2007. Took 3-4 hrs to open up. Similar meaty aromas and flavours, but more red-fruited than the 2007. Ends medium long and zingy. Drink up

  Really complex, albeit with a little farmyard that some might find offputting.
