Marqués de Riscal, Rioja Reserva 2004 - a dark cherry colour with good depth. Balsamic aromas with hints of ripe fruit, complex and spicy. The attack is fresh and light, with soft, rounded tannins. The finish proves persistent with some reminders of toasted oak. Its passage through the mouth is pleasant and elegant, fresh and easy to drink.
Grape Varieties: 10% Graciano, 90% Tempranillo
Region: Rioja
