Refined aromas of ripe red plum, concentrated dark liquorice, integrated cedar and sweet spices. Fresh acidity lifts lively fruit on the palate, with silky tannins and a smooth, structured finish of earthy truffle and dried leaves. Aged 20 months in French oak, this is only produced in the best vintage years. From Marqués de Riscal — one of Rioja's founding bodegas, established in 1858.
