Marqués de Murrieta Reserva 2014 Tinto

With production reaching almost 1m bottles, this widely available Reserva is increasingly focused on the terroir of the vast Ygay estate, in the outskirts of Logroño. Being in the central part of Rioja, the wine has a clear Mediterranean character. Very ripe cherry, thyme, scrubland and spicy aromas on the nose. The oak is almost unnoticeable, light years away from the style of the past. Round, balanced palate with well-defined fruit and polished tannins in a really versatile, food-friendly red. 93 points
