MARQUES DE RISCAL RIOJA XR RESERVA 2017 750ml

94 Points Wine Enthusiast | Deep ruby in the glass, this wine has a nose of blackberry, black cherry, milk chocolate and clove. There is a nice balance of spice and fruit on the palate, with flavors of black currant, pomegranate, clove, licorice and dark chocolate. Sturdy tannins dissipate into a lengthy finish. (2017).

90 Points Wine Spectator | A broad and creamy, medium- to full-bodied red, with flavors of pureed cherry, black tea leaf, dried fig and a touch of milled white pepper gliding across the palate, all supported by fine-grained tannins. Fresh and focused, with minerally iron and tar emerging on the finish. Drink now through 2027. 500 cases imported.
