In addition to its high score, ABC<\/b> says of it: “Colecci\u00f3n Familia maintains the line and character of Bodegas Mart\u00ednez Lacuesta’s Special Reserves. A perfect vintage to achieve the longevity of the great classics, which is now ready to drink but will continue to grow. Notes of black fruit and whip, with elegance and complexity”.<\/p>\n\n TASTING WITH \ud835\uddd5\ud835\udde2\ud835\uddd7\ud835\uddd8\ud835\uddda\ud835\uddd4\ud835\udde6 \ud835\udde0\ud835\uddd4\ud835\udde5\ud835\udde7\ud835\udddc\u0301\ud835\udde1\ud835\uddd8\ud835\udded \ud835\udddf\ud835\uddd4\ud835\uddd6\ud835\udde8\ud835\uddd8\ud835\udde6\ud835\udde7\ud835\uddd4 Colecci\u00f3n Familia 2011 <\/b> was previously one of the wines presented at one of the lomejordelvinoderioja.com Tasting Club meetings.<\/b> On that day, the general manager of Bodegas Mart\u00ednez Lacuesta, Javier Ba\u00f1ales<\/b>, said the following about him:<\/p>\n\n \ud835\uddd6\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddfc\u0301\ud835\uddfb \ud835\uddd9\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddee \ud835\udfee\ud835\udfec\ud835\udfed\ud835\udfed is elaborated with \ud835\udff3\ud835\udff1% \ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\udde7\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddfc, \ud835\ude02\ud835\uddfb \ud835\udfee\ud835\udfec% \ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\uddda\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddfc \ud835\ude06 \ud835\ude02\ud835\uddfb \ud835\udff1% \ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\udde0\ud835\uddee\ud835\ude07\ud835\ude02\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf9o. The ageing is between 36 and 40 months in used American oak barrels. 2011 is an excellent vintage in Rioja. It is a fresher, tenser, more vital vintage than 2010. For some people, 2010 was the perfect vintage but I am more of a 2011 wine drinker. It gives me more tension, more layers. The 2010 is sometimes very wrapped up in that point of maturity, there was volume, there was glycerin, there was structure… But the 11 has a lovely nerve.<\/b> <\/p>\n\n The nose has a little more tertiary than Hinia. Here there is more clove, more underbrush, that point of tertiary evolution. There is much more complexity. We also have those floral memories and, above all, as is the trademark of the house, the point of cleanliness and its frankness.<\/b><\/p>\n\n In the mouth is when you realise that you are privileged to work in Rioja and I am not a person of compliments. A wine of 11, with a mouth that is a little tannic, there is still nerve and it maintains its tension, its freshness, with this elegance. One of those wines that are never-ending in the mouth.<\/b><\/p>\n\n It is a wine that delves into that finesse, that slenderness. A fine wine like the ones we have always made. <\/p>\n\n Colecci\u00f3n Familia, the new sensation of Bodegas Mart\u00ednez Lacuesta, endorsed by the best wine guides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":5402,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-martinez-lacuesta-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
