Tasting Notes

Deep black-cherry in color, it opens with expressive aromas of licorice, cinnamon, and black pepper over ripe, concentrated fruit and subtle American-oak spice. The palate is fresh and polished with a firm backbone, silky tannins, and a long, balsamic-tinged finish. [marquesderiscal.com]

Food Paring

Serve with jamón or mild aged cheeses to echo the wine’s savory spice and smooth tannins. It also shines with roast poultry, grilled red meats, and hearty bean or casserole dishes.

Professional Reviews

93 James Suckling

"Refined nose with peppery and earthy undertones to the savory berry fruit, subtle vanilla and orange. Minerals as well. This is firm and quite long on the palate, with medium body and a traditional, nicely rustic twist at the end. Really poised and persistent, showing precision and finesse. One of the best Reserva expressions lately from Marques de Riscal? A joy to drink now, but will hold well over the next 10 years."

Region Information

Rioja is one of Spain’s most renowned wine regions, internationally recognized for high‑quality red wines made primarily from Tempranillo. A combination of Atlantic and Mediterranean influences, along with diverse soils, allows Rioja to produce wines known for balance, elegance, and aging potential. Rioja wines range from fresh and fruit‑forward styles to complex, oak‑aged expressions that define classic Spanish winemaking.

Spain has the largest vineyard area in the world and a winemaking history that spans thousands of years. It is known for regions such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Priorat, which produce distinctive red wines. Spain is also famous for fortified wines like Sherry and sparkling Cava. Modern investments and techniques have elevated quality while preserving regional identity.
