The 2013 Marques De Riscal Rioja 'Reserva' is a wine brimming with confidence from this more than challenging vintage in Rioja. On the nose this takes on an oaky and dark fruit profile, with lively citrus blossom lingering in the background. The combination of acidity, citrus rind and juicy red fruits on the palate is wonderful. Light on its feet yet possssing notable mid-palate weight and texture, this glides cleanly through to a long, red fruit and citrus driven finish. This is a shockingly good wine that needs at least a one hour decant if enjoying in its youth.
