Marques De Riscal Rioja XR Reserva 2017

Deep ruby in the glass, this wine has a nose of blackberry, black cherry, milk chocolate and clove. There is a nice balance of spice and fruit on the palate, with flavors of black currant, pomegranate, clove, licorice and dark chocolate. Sturdy tannins dissipate into a lengthy finish. \n \n94 points, Mike DeSimone, Wine Enthusiast (Mar 2023)
