Established in 1852, Marqués de Murrieta stands as one of the more classical wine estates in Rioja. This particular white Rioja is one of their premium wines, hailing from the 1986 vintage. The glass unfolds a sequence of aromas, beginning with nutty tones, transitioning to raisin accents, and concluding with a subtle Sherry-like layer. The palate is simultaneously crisp and creamy, featuring a silky texture that leads to a lingering, extended finish.
98 Vinous
Bright yellow-gold. A hugely complex bouquet evokes dried pear, peach nectar, orange marmalade, honey, marzipan and chamomile, with vanilla and smoky mineral notes in the background. Stains the palate with sappy, deeply concentrated citrus, orchard and pit fruit flavors, plus suggestions of brown butter, shortbread and orange zest. This wine is fully mature but there's no sign of it slowing down anytime soon. Finishes with superb persistence and energy, leaving peach liqueur, buttered toast and honey notes behind, eventually. This is one of the most remarkable white wines that I have ever had, from anywhere.Josh Raynolds1st April 2021
