Marqués de Riscal Rioja Reserva 2018
Rioja Alavesa, Rioja, SpainThis is classic, old school Rioja that really overdelivers for the price. It offers dried strawberry and red cherry that's wrapped in American oak, with a healthy, but balanced amount of wood. It's beautifully resolved at this stage, with tertiary notes of cedar and balsamic, alongside fine tannins that are still buoyed by juicy acidity. Recommended and excellent value.Tasted: 04 June 2023Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:BC | $32.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |
