Marqués de Riscal Rioja Gran Reserva 1994
Rioja Alavesa, Rioja, SpainRioja aficionados will love the 1994 Gran Reserva. Although they are not allowed to say the cabernet word anywhere on the label, there's 20 per cent in the bottle along with 70 per cent tempranillo and 10 per cent mazuelo. Aged 29 months in American oak, and three more years in bottle, it hails from a great vintage for Rioja. Sleek taut and extremely smooth you will be amazed at the cacophony of aromas mixing cedar, dried berry fruits, toffee, mocha and leather. Drink now or hold through 2005 or longer.Tasted: 01 March 1997Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $55.95 | 750ml | Speculative - Reichel Waldorf |
