92 Jay Miller - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The same can be said for the 2001 Ramirez de la Piscina Gran Reserva from another great year. It was aged for 1 year in tank followed by 2 years in barrel. Dark ruby-colored, it proffers a compelling perfume of Asian spices, violets, incense, and secondary fruit aromas from the extended bottle aging. Silky-textured, elegant, and filled with finesse, it still has enough concentration and structure to improve for another 1-2 years. In the scheme of things, it, too, is a terrific value."
