Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 94 points

The 2011 Las Lamas is a true expression of both the vintage and the vineyard, which is usually the most powerful of all the wines produced by the winery. Perhaps 2011 imprinted more character in the wine than 2010 did. The nose is full of blueberries, peach and gunpowder, wet slate, peat and smoke notes. It?s a powerful wine, this is the only vineyard where they have some clay mixed with the slate. Some fine-grained tannins hint at the need of a couple of years in bottle. Drink 2015-2026.

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: 93 points

Deep ruby. Powerfully scented aromas of fresh red fruits, cola, incense and Asian spices, with a bright mineral overtone. Stains the palate with sappy black raspberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors that are lifted and braced by a zesty mineral quality. Closes sweet, smoky and very long, with silky tannins that fade into the wine's sappy fruit.
