Gran Reserva - Bodegas Marques de Riscal
Gabriella
85% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano, and 5% others, aged for 2.5-3 years in American oak and 1 years in bottle before released. Dark purple in color, dense and grapey. The bouquet literally draws you into the glass, enticing you to take deep, full breathes of ripe blueberries, freshly melted chocolate and black licorice. In the mouth, the wine is vibrant and alive with silky, fine and medium firm tannins that easy their way off your tongue, leaving a luscious dark spice, coffee bitter chocolate finish. Great wine! 4.5/5

Great wine here with a nose that right off draws me in for more. Cinnamon, and spices combine with mint, leather and a raspberry chocolate note. Soft in the mouth with an amazing acidity for a wine that is 8yrs old. Long persistent finish where the palette for the most part mirrors the nose. 4.5/5
