Very covered, intense cherry-colored wine with hardly any signs of evolution.
MARQUES DE RISCAL XR Reserva 2022
Tasting notes
On the nose it is very expressive with notes of licorice, cinnamon and black pepper, where the long aging in wood is barely noticeable, thanks to its great complexity and concentration of ripe fruit.
In the mouth it is fresh, with very pleasant polished tannins, with good structure but easy to drink. The finish is long and leaves slight balsamic memories of great quality.
16 - 18ºC

Description
Within its Historical Reserve, in Marqués de Riscal there have always been wines from the winery, to which this XR belonged. In the style of Jerez foremen, the winemaker marked some of his barrels with chalk with the word XR when he had found some special characteristics.
This XR was never marketed, but it was always a reference for the cellar master in a custom that lasted almost a century, from 1869 to 1964. The It has won the gold medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2022.
