93 Points Rated Excellent - Cameron Douglas MS 
"Some lovely classic aromas of baked red berry fruits and fragrant spices, dark plums and cherries, some leather and five spice, wisps of dried herb and a clay or baked clay earthy quality. Equally classic on the palate with flavours that mirror the bouquet along with a dried spice phonlic quality, an abundance of chalky tannins and medium acid level. A great drink for after dinner or with simple fare such as beef short-rib and vegetables. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2026+."

"Medium garnet in colour, this wine offers a nose of black currant, raspberry and thyme. It is soft on the palate, with velvet tannins and flavours of black cherry, strawberry, cocoa powder and caramel. There is an undertone of bright fruit that lasts from first sip through the satisfying finish."

Produced by famous family-owned Rioja producer Bodega Muriel, founded in 1926 by José Murúa Villaverde. Tempranillo grapes were carefully picked at optimum ripeness, from vines aged up to 50 years old. This wine then sees three years of oak ageing in American and French barrels.

The resulting wine has layers of complex aromas and flavours. Plum, raspberry and mature red fruits blend harmoniously with vanilla and spice characteristics resulting from. The palate is smooth, well-balanced and full of elegant flavours.

Reserva Rioja is certainly something special in the world of wine. Aged to perfection and released when just right for drinking. This really is great buying. Not much stock at this price.
