Marqués de Riscal Rioja Reserva 1995
Rioja Alavesa, Rioja, SpainA fine red wine from one of the region's oldest producers and one of the decade's best vintages. Fabulous open, spicy, leather, prune/plum and American oak nose. Very clean, sweet vanilla and plummy fruit flavours. There's a touch of tannin and leather in the finish. A delicious red that should peak over the next two to three years.Tasted: 01 March 1998Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $19.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
