1968 Marqués de Riscal - Rioja Gran Reserva - 1 Fles (0,75 liter)

Wines bought directly from the old cemetery cellar of Riscal in El Ciego, La Rioja, in 2012.
Stored in private cellar up to today. Bottle in outstanding condition: very good filling level, cork, color, capsule, label, no leakage. Fully mature and therefore drinking well now, or cellar for next 20-25 years.

97/100 VinosClasicos: "Deep, very complex nose, full of elegance and a finesse that only Riscal could produce in his best years. And on this occasion, in what way! Initially, he appears open and communicative. There is a very long palette of high-quality reductive aromas: cigar cellar, cedar, birch, cabinetry, tung oil, Russian leather, sweet spices. All this is followed by a mineral-earthy aftertaste that blends soft balsamic notes (green cocoa, orange jam, bay leaf, sage, ivy) and the ripe, fragrant, juicy, spicy fruit. Beautiful, fine, ethereal, mysterious, without ever being seen, without peaks or ups and downs, of fantastic integrity and solidity. It does not stop growing as it breathes, acquiring a beautiful autumn air of undergrowth, humus, walnut bark, and glacé brown. A stately, beautiful red wine!".
