Pack Marqués de Riscal Reserva 2019 (x6) con 6 Copas

An elegant expression of Rioja that shows lifted, minty notes on the nose, with touches of underbrush and barnyard underneath the ripe red cherry fruit. The palate is pretty juicy and succulent, showing off sweet raspberry fruit. Fine tannins provide a taut structure, finishing dry and long. 21 months in American oak has given weight and structure to the wine, as well as hints of sweet vanilla and toast. A classy wine.

Vanilla, incense and pine cones on top of the dark cherries and plums on the nose. Youthful and pretty flavorful on the medium- to full-bodied palate with plenty of oak tannins that will need a few years to unwind and soften. Hint of tobacco savoriness loom in the lengthy, spicy finish. Drink from 2025 or decant if you want to enjoy now.
