2010 Rioja Gran Reserva, Marqués de Murrieta, Rioja

This is a remarkable Gran Reserva from Marques de Murrieta. There's definition of fruit, with elegance and finesse and a very fine line of acidity running throughout. This is a wine that shows not only the quality of the vintage, but also the quality of its origins.

TASTING NOTES

Combining Tempranillo with 5% Mazuelo, 3% Garnacha and 2% Graciano to brilliant effect, this is a delicious expression of place as well as vintage. Elegant, understated and aromatic, it has notes of incense and tobacco leaf, stylish, fine-grained tannins, well-integrated oak and a finish that lingers on the palate.
