Finca del Marquesado 2008 Gran Reserva (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Gran Reserva
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain

Earthy aromas of brandied cherry, spiced berry and coconut require lengthy airing to shed murky, damp notes. This feels tight, with rubbery tannins. Spiced plum, raspberry and foresty flavors finish grabby and lightly herbal.
