Description
The 2020 Marqués de Riscal Reserva shows an intense black-cherry color with impressive depth and barely any signs of evolution. The nose is highly expressive, with layered aromas of liquorice, cinnamon, and black pepper, complemented by subtle oak-derived complexity and ripe, concentrated fruit. On the palate it is fresh, approachable, and well-structured, with polished tannins and a persistent finish that leaves delicate balsamic notes.
Food Pairing
This wine goes well with ham, mild cheeses, casseroles which are not highly spiced, bean and pulse dishes, poultry, red meat, grills and roasts.
