Marqués de Reinosa tinto Reserva 2000, D.O.Ca . Rioja. **HERITAGE WINE**
Color: dark red, just lost its purple.
Nose:
a bit restrained, spicy, warm, quite a bit of wood, but also with ample
clean and juicy fruit, good freshness, very clean and honest, already
some maturing nuances, but also some fruit (youth), excellent balance,
intriguing refinement and elegance, quite classic and typically Rioja.
Taste:
medium bodied, medium intense, good core and nice extract, but very
elegant and pure, mild, fresh, good tannins, spicy wood, impressions of
minerals, ripe and fresh fruit (cherry, berry), smoke, tobacco, good
depth and refined, excellent balance, refinement and elegance rather
than power and intensity. Impressively woven, elegant structure with
matching subtle aroma's. Very Rioja!
Finish: elegant, long, fresh and pure,
soft with beautiful fruit, spices, a touch of smoke and wood.
* A rare, honest, very true to type luxurious Rioja with an impressive
classical elegance. Do not look for power and concentration in this
wine but get impressed by the sheer beauty of elegance, refinement and
purity of this wine, carefully crafted from pure and ripe fruit,
uplifting freshness, minerals, and spicy, well dosed oak. A real
bargain with a stunning quality / price ratio.
- Drink this wine from now on, it will keep until 2012 maybe even a few
years longer. Well balanced Rioja's can have respectable lifespans, if
all ingredients of the wine are in harmony and well supplied, neither
of them will dominate the others for many years. longevity is more a
matter of perfect balance and the right ingredients than lots of power
of extract.
- This is a Rioja I really
like and respect. It has something magical about it, the elegance is so
inviting to drink another glass and to meet a slight variation on the
aroma's encountered in the first that it is a real joy to pour another.
This is a great excursion in "wine country" the matching food has also
enough room to be noticed along this wine. There is no place in the
world other than Rioja one could produce this type of wine. Of course
there are better wines in Rioja and in the world but this one deserves
great respect.
