Marques De Caceres Rioja Crianza 750ml

Nice depth with a luminous sparkle. A bouquet of fine notes of toasted wood and spices, combined with red candied fruit on a licorice base. Full-bodied on the palate with a background of ripe fruit and smooth elegant tannins. A long silky aftertaste.

Sweet blackberry, blueberry, and bark aromas follow through to a full body with a compact palate of medium, round and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Drinkable now, but better with a year of bottle age. 92 pts JS

Dark ruby. Oak-spiced cherry and blackberry scents are complemented by suggestions of pipe tobacco and mocha. Fleshy and seamless in the mouth, offering juicy red and fruit and floral pastille flavors that firm up slowly on the back half. In an accessible, open-knit style, finishing long and smooth, with even tannins sneaking in late. Drinking window: 2021 – 2028  90 pts VS
