2001 Rioja Reserva, Bodegas Murua, Rioja
Admirers of the Murua house style will be amazed by the 2001, atypical in view of the immense body, colour and flavour that was inescapable in this sensational vintage. The wine is almost black in colour with an incredible impression of fruit extract on the nose and palate. It offered a huge mouthful of juicy, brambly fruit, opulent, ripe tannins and a velvet texture behind. There is no doubt we have a very special Murua Reserva in the making.
