2018 Marques de Riscal Réserva Rioja

Winemaker Notes:  Intense black-cherry color with good depth of colour and hardly any signs of evolution. Very expressive aromas on the nose with notes of licorice, cinnamon and black pepper, with just a subtle hint of the long cask-ageing, thanks to its great complexity and ripe, concentrated fruit. Fresh and easy to drink on the palate, good backbone andlovely, polished tannins. The long, persistent finish leaves gentle balsamic reminders of the finest quality.
