Owned by the Cebrián-Sagarriga family since 1983, Marqués de Murrieta is one of the best-known wine producers in Rioja. This Gran Reserva Especial is made with Tempranillo and Mazuelo grapes, grown in a vineyard situated at 485 meters above sea level. Prior to bottling, the wine was aged for 28 months in 225-litre American and French oak barrels. Still youthful, the wine offers elegant tannins carrying flavours of dark plums, black cherries, caramel and violet that slowly fade into a soft cherry-pie finish. Drinking well now.
95 Vinous
Deep garnet. A highly perfumed, complex bouquet evokes red and blue fruits, incense, pipe tobacco, vanilla and mocha, along with smoky mineral and spice nuances that build in the glass. Sappy, palate-staining black raspberry, cherry compote, succulent herb, candied rose and vanilla flavors show excellent depth and clarity, while a spine of juicy acidity contributes cut and structure. Shows excellent energy and detail, finishing with strong persistence, repeating florality and velvety tannins that come in late. Josh Raynolds1st April 2021
