"The Marques de Riscal Reserva is a classic example of a standout Rioja at an affordable price. A seductive nose of ripe strawberries wonderfully accompanied by sweet vanilla conjures up memories of idyllic summer evenings. The palate follows on beautifully with the barrel ageing offering a complex cedar backdrop to the fresh strawberry fruit balanced by soft rounded tannins with a pleasant lightness. While the finish lingers on, memories of all the great occasions whereby the Riscal Reserva has been the soundtrack come flooding back, whether it be accompanying a succulent roast Lamb or enjoyed with friends!

Good Rioja all the classic tastes. Excellent value when on offer. Remember to leave standing opened preferably decanted at room temp for a couple of hours before drinking. Youll love it.

just luxurious

This wine just bursts with deep flavours - dark fruits, vanilla, such a rich finish - it just smacks of luxury at a fraction of the price of some highly priced alternatives which are no better

One of my favourites. Lovely vanilla taste, but not over-oaked like many other Rioja's.
