The Wine Advocate - 19th Aug 2021 - Luis Gutiérrez - 2018 Remelluri Lindes de Remelluri Viñedos de San Vicente - 94/100 - $38
It's always interesting to compare the 2018 Lindes de Remelluri Viñedos de San Vicente de la Sonsierra with the wine from the same year but from the external suppliers from Labastida, as the two wines are produced in the same way after a natural fermentation in small vats and oak casks and matured in a combination of barriques of different origins and aged for 14 months. In this cooler year, it has contained ripeness and moderate alcohol. This is more expressive and open, showing everything from the first moment. 2018 is a special year, cooler and with more rain, and the wines combine power with elegance. For Pablo Eguzkiza, the year is a little like 2013. It's medium-bodied with fine, abundant tannins, with plenty of fruit and a dry, chalky finish. 86,800 bottles produced. It was bottled between April and May 2020.

Der Decanter schreibt in dem Artikel "Why Bordeaux still reigns Rioja":
"The Bordeaux concept is alive in two of the finest bogedas of the region. The single-vineyard/multiple plot concept at Remelluri was such that it could have been at Latour. While Riscal's yearly four million bottles may represent Rioja around the world, the vineyards speak louder at Contino and Remelluri"
