2007 Remelluri Blanco - Rioja (Very Limited)

94 Points Wine Advocate - "Remelluri’s Blanco is the reference standard against which all others are measured in virtually every vintage."

He won't on to say, "The 2007 Remelluri Blanco is a blend of 7 grapes varieties with the largest roles played by Garnacha Blanca (25%) and a combination of Roussanne and Marsanne (25%). The wine is fermented with native yeasts with malolactic fermentation in barrel followed by 16 months of aging in new French oak. It offers up a glorious perfume of buttered popcorn, tropical fruits, jasmine, baking spices, and minerals. In the glass the oak is integrated, the texture silky, and the wine’s acid structure is firm and uplifting. It is likely to evolve for several years adding to its already considerable complexity. Drink this outstanding effort from 2013 to 2019+. "
