"Even more outstanding than the 2020, the incredibly priced 2021 Reserva is young in boisterous blue fruit, with a generous, full-bodied palate of richness and upfront power. The tannins add length and breadth to the wine, which is tasting great and could go another 10-15 years."-Virginie Boone

"The 2021 Rioja “Reserva” from Marqués de Murrieta is made this year from a cépages of eighty-six percent tempranillo, eight percent graciano, four percent mazuelo and two percent garnacha. The wine was aged for twenty-six months in American oak casks prior to assemblage. It comes in at 14.3 percent octane in this vintage and offers up a simply outstanding aromatic constellation of sweet dark berries, cassis, Cuban cigar wrapper, a beautiful base of chalky soil tones, a dollop of Rioja spice tones, woodsmoke and a refined framing of American oak. On the palate the wine is deep, pure, full-bodied and nicely ripe, with a stunning core of fruit, superb soil undertow and grip, ripe, buried tannins and great length and grip on the very well balanced finish. There is just a whisper of backend heat here from the wine’s octane, but it is very minimal and will not adversely affect how the wine ages."-John Gilman
