Marqués de Riscal began with a dream back in 1858 and over 150 years later, the Bodega decided to commemorate the 150th Anniversary with a Gran Reserva Rioja that befitted the history and standing of such great wines. The result it this outstanding Tempranillo blend from the 2001 vintage, a truly special vintage in the Rioja region. Dark cherry in colour with complex aromas of balsamic, charred wood and layers of spices. The palate follows with a viscous mouthfeel with a good concentration of tannins and acid structure. A truly remarkable Rioja that pays a great tribute.

Clean and brilliant with a wild-cherry colour, violet highlights and medium to intense depth. It is elegant on the nose, with hints of ripe black fruit, cedar, spices and cacao. In the mouth, it has a medium body, good unctuosity and pleasant, round tannins. FOOD PAIRING: Pasta with tomato-based sauces and sausages. ABV 14.5% Cellaring 10plus years
