Marqués de Vargas Reserva 2009 Tinto

Marqués de Vargas, Rioja

Ruby colour with garnet rim. You can feel there are other varieties accompanying Tempranillo in this wine. Leather, dark fruit, kirsch, tobacco and some inky notes on the nose together with spicy and dairy nuances. A tasty, medium-bodied red with good weight and acidity on the palate. A fairly fine and persistent Rioja. 90 points

Marqués de Vargas Reserva 2009 Tinto

Marqués de Vargas, Rioja

Ruby colour with garnet rim. A bit reduced, it opens up progressively; preserved fruit, dried fruit and black chocolate aromas. Well-structured with firm tannins and balsamic nuances. Varieties other than Tempranillo appear clearly (fresh herbs). This is a firm red with a future; it will show better if decanted. 90 points
