Attractive notes of fresh black fruits with mineral notes and well integrated oak, rich, silky tannins with well integrated fine oak. The firm tannins fade into a long, spicy finish.
Wine Advocate The 2001 Altanza Reserva Miro is brilliantly made. It has a gorgeous Miro painting reproduced on the label attached to the extra heavy custom-made glass bottle. Reportedly, the Martinez family paid $80,000 to the Miro estate for the rights to the artwork. Remarkably, the wine stands up to the art with no problem. The super-spicy, toasty, espresso roast, chocolate and blackberry aromas lead to a seamless, layered, rich wine that admirably combines elegance with power. It is a tour de force in Rioja winemaking. Cellar this beauty for 5 years and drink it over the following 15+. Score: 95. —Jay Miller, February 2007.Wine Spectator Supple and expressive, this elegant red delivers spicy notes of cardamom, cinnamon and black pepper that ornament the core of cherry and cranberry fruit. Almost weightless, yet well-integrated tannins provide structure. Drink now through 2012. 1,200 cases made. Score: 91. —Thomas Matthews, April 30, 2007.
