2017 Marqués de Riscal Rioja Gran Reserva

11/29/2023 - kostaslonis wrote: NR

Sample tasting at work (Oinoscent): tasted via coravin
The wine needs time to open up, heavily based in oak, sour cherry, ripe black cherry, some warmth, a touch earthy.
Palate with more red fruit than black, thick oak frame, tight tannins, fresh, oaky, warmth (14.50%), med body and finish

Mature tempranillo although the wine continues to have great structure. Decanted because the cork broke into two parts on opening. Complex aromatics that evolved during the evening. However, this proved to be less interesting than I had hoped. Some vinyl, black raspberry, leather, and earthy aromas over the hour of consumption.

cheers - delicious, well balanced and aging beautifully, this is an excellent wine.....imo people are rating this low because of the low purchase price....for the similar reason that $300 yucky cabs are rated at 92+....Riojas are some of the best values you can buy, and this wine is a great example of that...a great vintage and a wine that will last for 20-30 years when it initially sold for under $15. That's crazy!

A wine targeting the gastronomy, trying to strike a balance between character and affordability. Expressive, mature red fruit, cedar, leather, liquorice and roast aromas. A bit too much wood for my taste, but overall enjoyable.

Twenty Years On Wines, Some Luxury at Home; 4/19/2024-5/9/2024 (Alicante y Madrid - España): Gracefully aged in my parents cellar during ten years plus. Popped and poured? Well, cork splited in two pieces, last one totally pulverised so conveniently filtered and decanted. Beautiful, bright crimson colour with orange edges. What a nose. All what Rioja is about including flesh, iron ore, strawberries, leather, cinnamon, clove, biscuits or caramel even. Unbelievable complexity. Once again, coconut and dill missed in action. Similar echoes on the palate. Smooth texture, excellent acidity, very good length and a delicious aftertaste, very well defined. Supeb and full expressive for this particular vintage. Excellent. Deep. Recommended as postprandial wine even. According with this current score, may I insist that Rioja wine is not for everyone? I refer to the evidence ... Sorry. Reading latest news from Financial Times about the collapse of prices in Bordeaux I understand why.

Agraciadamente envejecido en el sótano de mis padres durante más de diez años. ¿Descorchado y escanciado? Bueno, el corcho estaba dividido en dos piezas, el último completamente pulverizado así que convenientemente filtrado y decantado. Hermoso, brillante color carmesí con bordes anaranjados. Qué nariz. Todo lo que tiene que ver con Rioja: con carne, hierro, fresas, cuero, canela, clavo, galletas o caramelo. Una complejidad increíble. De nuevo, el coco y el eneldo cayeron en combate. Ecos similares en el paladar. Textura suave, excelente acidez, muy buena longitud y un delicioso regusto, muy bien definido. Súper y expresividad completa para esta añada en particular. Excelente. Profundo. Recomendable incluso como vino de sobremesa. De conformidad con la puntuación actual, ¿Puedo insistir en que el vino de Rioja no es para todo el mundo? A las pruebas me remito ... Lo siento. Leyendo las últimas noticias del Financial Times sobre el colapso de los precios en Burdeos entiendo el por qué.

A step up from many Verdejo we have tried
Agree with Caruso below
Great value and a year on benefits from bottle age perhaps

Another great bottle from an important producer - a "winemakers" wine as they say.

Somewhat closed to begin with…smoky, spicy aromas (nutmeg, cinnamon) then appear, with black licorice, ripe red & black fruits (blueberries, blackcurrants) with generous balsamic notes. Good intensity.

Perfectly integrated ‘merican oak.

There is tension on the palate, great youthfulness & an outstanding creamy texture that fills the mouth.

Tannins? Lively, polished & fine.

Overall, broad & long, meaty & structured - but elegant with great freshness & fruit on the finish.

Deep ruby on the pour. Blackberry, black cherry, maybe some dill and tobacco leaf on the nose. Hefty legs. Powdery tannins which became more pronounced as time went on. Medium acidity. Tart. Earthy. Dry and bold. Medium bodied. Leather, black cherry, black pepper, vanilla on the palate. Lots of personality. One-plus hour decant.

The always dependable Marqués de Riscal strikes again. Thumbs up!

dark opaque purplish ruby and appreciable body in the glass. (thankfully misleading) nose of heady coconut and vanilla that permeate the dark berries and plum along with high-toned herbal and lavender whiffs. very structured in the mouth, aeration brings out juicy plum flavours that are interleaved with cinnamon and pepper. there is balanced acidic lift and a subtle balsamic vein. moderate length with a milk chocolate note aftertaste.

accessible now with good aeration, this could benefit from time to integrate the oak influence a bit better. upside potential here.

14.5% AbV; mostly Tempranillo with some Graciano (less than 10%); aged for twenty one month in American oak.

Bjørnebær, blå plommer, lakris, sigar, vanilje og fat. Tilgjengelig, men syrlig frukt, og myke taniner. Åpner opp etter litt luft, men trenger ett godt kjøttstykke for å skinne. Denne gang servert til lammecoulet og fløtepoteter.

Nase: kräftiges Bouquet, fruchtig, würzig, balsamisch, mit einem Hauch von Vanille.
Gaumen: vollmundig, kraftvoll und dank der Säure erfrischend, ohne zu überwältigen, feine Gerbstoffe sind präsent, aber im Gleichgewicht mit der Säure und der Frucht, alkoholisch (kein Wunder bei 15%), der Abgang ist sehr lang und präsent.
Fazit bzw. Laber Rahabarber: zusammenfassend ist es immer wieder faszinierend zu beobachten, wie beharrlich die spanischen Weinproduzenten aus der Region Rioja ihre Weine zuerst in Holzfässern und dann in der Flasche reifen lassen, bevor sie in den Verkauf kommen.
Gut, das sind Richtlinien der Klassifikation damit sich ein solcher Wein aus der Rioja Crianza, Reserva oder Gran Reserva husten darf. Bemerkenswert ist, dass diese Weine trotz teilweise hoher Alkoholwerte leichtfüssig daherkommen. Außerdem sind langlebige, qualitativ hochwertige Exemplare zu einem im Verhältnis günstigen Preis erhältlich - im krassen Gegensatz zu Weinen aus der Region Bordeaux. Diese Region gilt übrigens als Vorbild für klassische Rioja-Weine. Ein Vertreter dieser ebenbürtigen Bordeaux-Nacheiferer ist dieser Gran Reserva aus dem Hause Marqués de Riscal, welches 1858 gegründet wurde und zu den ältesten und renommiertesten Weingütern der Rioja zählt. Marqués de Riscal war ein Vorreiter bei der Einführung moderner Weinbereitungsmethoden in Spanien. Das Weingut nutzte als eines der ersten in Spanien Barriques zur Reifung, wodurch es sich an den grossen Bordeaux-Weingütern orientierte. Wenn man seinen Gästen einen Marqués de Riscal Gran Reserva oder den Reserva (für mich ein absoluter Preis-Leistungshit) serviert, kann man nichts falsch machen. Der Reserva ist eher Mainstream, während der Gran Reserva der etwas "anstrengendere" grosse Bruder ist. Beide sind auf jeden Fall einen Kauf wert.

Poured clear on decanting. Very little sediment. Colour still vibrant. Garnet. Nose very pronounced. Rich fruit, smoke, ash herbs and leather. Plenty of fruit left. Rich tasting. Plenty of secondary notes, some chocolate creaminess, super fine tannins of medium length. Good acidity. Nothing tertiary and seeming to have loads left in the tank. I was foolish to think this wouldn’t make old bones. Good for 5-10 years if you like your GR rioja properly aged, as I do.

At a great place right now, refined and mellowed but alive tannins, which support a highly balanced structure along w pleasantly soft acidity. The aromas are exemplary aged Rioja, a harmony of primary and tertiary, leather vanilla and dried raisins / prunes. Unfortunately the taste itself does not feel as complex as the aromas, and the finish is medium length. It was delicious with some side snacks and it could go well w any meats but given how the smell shines, I preferred it on its own to fully enjoy. Great qpr and simply delicious. The only problem is that it is a tad bit simple
