Marqués de Murrieta Reserva 2020

The 2020 Rioja Reserva, their flagship wine, comes from the 300 hectares of estate vineyards … I loved the aromatics here – floral and elegant, more in the style of the 2018 than the 2019. It’s lighter, more elegant, fine-boned and has a silky texture and very fine tannins. Both 2019 and 2020 are very good, but 2020 is more my style. It was bottled after 21 months in American oak barrels. Drink date: 2024-2034. Score – 94+. (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, Feb. 29, 2024)
