2021 | Marques de Riscal Reserva | Rioja The House of Krone dense tears of glycerin fallThe winerys flagship wine, the 2021 Reserva has a highly appealing spicy balsamic character and an undertone of freshness highlighted by the addition of 3% Graciano. A solid 20 months in American oak provides structure and toasty notes to the ripe, full bodied creaminess of the wine, rich in red and black cherry fruit thats textured and layered throughout supple, silky tannins. This is a classic, ready to go another 10 15 years. 92 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
