2020 Marques de Riscal XR Reserva, Rioja, Spain coombsville with ripe and spicy fruitThis is a classic producer hailing from Mizner's Wine Assistants Kyle's favorite region. Intense black cherry color with good depth of color and hardly any signs of evolution. Very expressive aromas on the nose with notes of liquorice, cinnamon and black pepper, with just a subtle hint of the long cask aging, thanks to its great complexity and ripe, concentrated fruit. Fresh and easy to drink on the palate, good backbone and lovely, polished tannins.
