Bodegas de la Marquesa Valserrano Rioja Crianza 14% abv 75cl

Made from 95% Tempranillo and 5% Mazuelo grapes. Aged for 24 months (reserva length of time) in American and French-oak casks, then stored for a few months in vats to allow the components of the wine to blend together before bottling.

Cherry with good depth of colour in the heart of the glass and ruby glints at the rim. With the glass still, an intense, yet elegant nose with nuances of red berries and toasted fragrances. Faint reminders of vanilla and red pepper. When swirled in the glass, spicy cinnamon notes appear, with dark fruit like blackberries and reminders of cigar boxes and cedar wood. A lively, fresh, joyful attack. As it passes through the mouth, it is elegant and balanced, with reminders of stewed fruit, full of flavour, creamy smooth, but with backbone. In the aftertaste, it shows pleasant structure without losing any freshness, with a faint, tasty liveliness in the finish.
