Marques de Riscal Description
Intense black-cherry colour with violet hues. On the nose it expresses its complex, balsamic, aromatic intensity, in perfect balance with the fruit and the lightly toasted aromas which recall fine oak. On the palate it is smooth and full, in harmony with the fruit, with good concentrated tannins, round and with a long finish.
This wine pairs well with ham, mature cheese, red meat, all kinds of roasts and game casseroles.
James Suckling: 94 Points
Spicy oak to the black berries, blueberries and plums. Pretty fluid despite the medium to full body with nicely chewy tannins. Fine-grained, structured and long.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
A harmonious version, with a firm frame of fine tannins enmeshed in a concentrated range of crushed black cherry, rose hip and eucalyptus, mocha, iron and leather notes. Long and lively on the palate through to the spiced finish.
