2013 Marqués de Riscal Rioja Reserva

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Friday, April 30, 2021 - On the second day, out of recorked half-bottle, decanted an hour, this was really fine. Stylistically, it is semi-traditional, with old American oak, notes of the penicillin mold in the deep, cold Rioja cellars, and plenty of dark, warm, spicy fruit. Perhaps the 14% alcohol is a bit too noticeable in the finish. I am sure it would be great in 20 years if kept in a cold cellar. At the price point it can compete with a favourite like Cubillo and that's saying a lot.
