Marques De Riscal Rioja Gran Reserva 2018

Intense black-cherry color with violet hues. On the nose it expresses its complex, balsamic, aromatic intensity, in perfect balance with the fruit and the lightly toasted aromas which recall fine oak. On the palate it is smooth and full, in harmony with the fruit, with good concentrated tannins, round and with a long finish.

A fragrant and enticing red, with a pleasing sense of restraint, layering fine, chalky tannins and refreshing acidity with flavors of black cherry tart, dried lavender, licorice, cured tobacco and fresh, loamy earth. Lightly spiced and lingering on the finish. Drink now through 2030.
