Score 88/100 · Drink 2014-2018, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, Feb 2014

The 2011 Embruix de Vall Llach is a blend of Carinena (28%), Garnacha (23%), Merlot (17%), Cabernet Sauvignon (18%) and Syrah(14%) and feels surprisingly fresher than the rest of the reds despite 2011 being a much warmer vintage than 2010, with a serious, dark nose of shoe polish, peat, nutmeg and ripe dark plums with some chemical character (diesel? Mineral?) and hints of flowers, Mediterranean herbs and spices. The palate is full-bodied, with ripe, balsamic flavors and plenty of tannin. The younger sibling is already a big wine. Drink 2014-2018. I was a little overwhelmed by the ripeness and power of the reds from Vall Llach and some harsh tannins found in them Importer: Folio Wines, Napa, CA; tel.
