Marques De Riscal Rioja Reserva 750ml

Intense black-cherry color with good depth of color and hardly any signs of evolution. Very expressive aromas on the nose with notes of licorice, cinnamon, and black pepper, with just a subtle hint of the long cask-aging, thanks to its great complexity and ripe, concentrated fruit. Fresh and easy to drink on the palate, good backbone, and lovely, polished tannins. The long, persistent finish leaves gentle balsamic reminders of the finest quality.

Perfumed and beautiful with blackberry and violet aromas. Some sandalwood, too. Medium-bodied with refined, polished tannins and a long, pretty finish. Very fine tannins. Lovely texture. Drink or hold. JS 93
