Country: Spain / Northern Spain
Variety: Tempranillo
Winery: Bodegas Muriel / Viña Muriel Gran Reserva
Earthy, mildly leafy aromas of dried red fruits and vanilla are textbook for Rioja gran reserva. A medium-bodied palate shows balsamic richness along with flavors of prune, raisin, cassis and loamy earth. This is mild but solid on the finish, with a quick fade to the fruit component. Drink now.
