  Aromas of cherry, raspberry, spice, vanilla, tobacco. Wine is dry, full bodied with medium+ acidity and fine tannins. Taste of cherry, plum, vanilla, oak. Long finish. Well done.

  Otro vino de la Vertical Marqués de Murrieta Reserva, Colección Histórica 2012 a 2017 más botella 2018. Ahora un coupage de Tempranillo 87%, Graciano 6%, Mazuelo 5% y Garnacha 2%, con 16 meses de crianza en barrica de roble americano de 225 litros. Respecto a la edición de 2015, el perfil cambió hacia un caldo más estructurado, potente, intenso y amplio, con taninos firmes pero bien pulidos y una madera notable, aunque justa para resaltar su fruta.

  Not sure why my experience is so much worse than others. After 30 min decant, initial watery impression then tart cherry and blackberry with some herbal notes. Maybe too much acidity and fine tannins. Second day is better. More cherry, more balanced acidity and very fine tannins. This is my second bottle. First was sour but not clearly defective.

  Decanted Friday, but ended up drinking more than 24hrs later on Saturday. Still fairly young, dark fruit on the nose, cherry, tobacco, cedar, prominent yet nicely integrated oak. Fresh nicely judged acidity, soft to medium tannins (with the long decant) resulting in beautiful balance of the elements. Only getting better from here. Was intending to decant for 5 hours, but I recommend going with a full day of air based on this experience. Great qpr. 91-92
