Creators’ opinion
"
Marqués de Riscal Reserva is a wine with a deep cherry color, intense and with barely any signs of evolution. On the nose, it is very expressive with notes of regaliz, cinnamon, and black pepper, where the long aging in wood is barely noticeable, thanks to its great complexity and concentration of ripe fruit. On the palate, it is fresh, with very pleasant polished tannins, with good structure but easy to drink. The finish is long and leaves slight balsamic memories of great quality.
