(free S/H $27/btl)Oak aged Tempranillo from Rioja is sometimes very tough in its youth and not a pleasant drinking experience. Bodegas Muriel has attempted to make a Reserve style Rioja that is accessible now, and our consensus is that they succeeded!
This is another 100% Tempranillo wine made from vines 20 years or older. The wine spent 4 months in all new French oak barrels. The result is a Rioja with an intense and vivid red color with violet highlights. Red fruit aromas, blackberry and plums integrate a fine oak and spice given the wine a very complex mouth. Juicy, well structured and firm on the finish. LOW STOCK- BUY NOW
