2011 Red Wine

Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: (WE90-92 points) This wine is laden with tannins yet shows juicy, crisp red-berry flavors. It finishes with great structure.

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: The most structured Prado Enea ever. A reduced center palate that is so compact with dark fruit, dark mushrooms and cedary spice. Full body. Wonderfully polished tannins and a long, long finish. Electric acidity. Muscular...

View From The Cellar, 96 points: Christian Moueix explained that 2011 was the first vintage where the harvesting was organized here to target old vines of a similar age to be picked together, as he went along with the harvesters pointing out which...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: The white truffle and dark berry character comes through here. Rosemary too. Full body, chewy and extremely long. It shows fantastic length and structure. Noble tannins. Needs at least five to six years to soften.

Vinous, 94 points: A huge, thrilling wine, the 2011 Barbera del Monferrato Superiore Bricco Battista is endowed with magnificent depth and tons of personality. Layers of intense Barbera fruit burst from the glass in a racy, opulent wine...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is a direct and powerful wine from a hot vintage. Dark fruit aromas segue to candied cherry, moist pipe tobacco, balsam herb and dark granite stone. In the mouth, this is a...

Wine Enthusiast, 97 points: Big tannins and impressive fruits are the hallmarks of this impressive wine. It is also subtle, not showing all its flavors at once, hiding beneath tannins and structure. For this fruity vintage, it shows a strong sense...

Burghound, 92 points: A deft application of wood sets off fresher and more elegant if not more complex aromas of essence of cool red berry fruit, kirsch, wet stone and a hint of humus. There is excellent precision and here too an admirable...

Decanter, 93 points: A very wet spring in 2011 in the Bekaa Valley led to a delayed season and their second latest harvest on record. This has aromas of plum sauce and damson, varnished woods and noticeable volatile acidity – part of the...

jamessuckling.com, 90 points: This shows a frankness and beauty for a 2011 from the third wine of Latour. Bright and fresh with firm tannins and a currant and berry character. A little lean. Better in 2016

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: A wine with lots of dried-fruit, spice, berry and chocolate aromas and flavors. Full body with round, velvety tannins. Rich finish. Lots of new-wood character but will come together nicely. A small producer to follow...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: Offers a mouthfilling, brambly feel, with dark plum, steeped blackberry and mulled boysenberry fruit at the core, backed by anise, singed mesquite and black tea notes that give the finish a perfumy caste. Has depth and...

Burghound, 93 points: A very spicy nose that is earthier still and also notably sauvage in character combines with ripe aromas of black raspberry, plum and exotic tea that are again trimmed in enough wood to notice. There is a beguiling mouth...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Very ripe morello cherries, dark plums, cigar box, kirsch and stemmy undertones, but also orange rind and plenty of floral elements. Full body, powerful and grainy tannins and a dense yet driven finish. Extremely pure...
