Marqués de Murrieta Reserva Rioja (Finca Ygay) 2020

Comforting conclusion to a delightful evening with a rich, full-bodied Rioja reserva. The finish is long and satisfying, with a nuanced echo of fruitiness.

Luscious and textured wine with a deep, supple texture, its bright ruby color is a testament to its full-bodied nature. The aromas are a masterful blend of red fruit, smoke, and spices, with a elegant undertone of graphite and a touch of bold chocolate. The tannins are well-balanced, providing a gentle and gratifying mouthfeel, whereas the crispness adds a zesty touch. The tastes are a seamless combination of cherry, cranberry, and blackcurrant, with a note of black pepper and a understated profoundness of dense chocolate. The linger is long and satisfying, with a medium plus aftertaste that stays on the palate.

Surprisingly delightful Rioja, showing good merit for money, with a robust scent of oak, leather, and berries. The taste of cherries is echoing of others, a delightful experience.
