2004 Herederos del Marques de Riscal Rioja Reserva

Ruby Red. Opens with wild sweet and spice tones - cinnamon, white pepper, Werther's Original Toffee candy, fig newton, and wild strawberries. There is some graphite #2 pencil action - like an old school supply box. Cigar, braised fig and golden raisin and stewed plum fruit. In the mouth: suave, medium, and tight, packed tannin. Finishes with sweet, smokey fruit. An elegant wine that's drinking well now. Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo.

Gift from Keith Scheib
