Harmonious textbook Rioja that shows cedar spiced strawberries vanilla and plums. Really polished on the palate with fresh acidity and a linear lengthy finish. Very subtle extraction makes this a really balanced harmonious Rioja that?s appealing now. But the balance will help it age well for the next few years. Reviewed by: Zekun Shuai 08/24
The 2020 Rioja Reserva their flagship wine comes from the 300 hectares of estate vineyards. Here Tempranillo is the backbone making up 82% of the blend in the low-yielding vintage of 2019 complemented with 8% Graciano 7% Mazuelo and 3% Garnacha. It has controlled ripeness at 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.65 and 5.1 grams of acidity. I loved the aromatics here?floral and elegant more in the style of the 2018 than the 2019. it's lighter more elegant fine-boned and has a silky texture and very fine tannins. Both 2019 and 2020 are very good but 2020 is more my style. 980000 bottles produced. It was bottled after 21 months in American oak barrels. Reviewed by: Luis Gutiérrez 02/24
The 2020 Marqués de Murrieta is 82% Tempranillo 7% Mazuelo 8% Graciano and 3% Garnacha from Rioja Alta. Aromas of cherries dried flowers undergrowth plum and subtle oak define a classic profile with a touch of vanilla adding another familiar accent. Smooth with refined tannins and moderate freshness it's slightly diluted due to the vintage but remains accomplished and balanced. Reviewed by: Joaquín Hidalgo 05/25 .
