Bodegas de la Marquesa, Valserrano, Reserva, 2019

Intense, Lively & Smooth Rioja Reserva

Intense aromas of red fruits such as currants and blueberries, along with hints of aromatic herbs tobacco and cedarwood. On the palate, lively, smooth, yet still youthful tannins give it a flavourful and harmonious structure that promises longevity. The finish is very balanced, with a very fruity acidity.

• Tim Atkin 93/100 Pts
• Decanter 91/100 Pts
