95 poena - The Wine Advocate

Osnovana 1852. godine i smatrana jednim od istorijskih imanja Rioje, vinarija Marqués de Murrieta decenijama je poznata po vinima koja kombinuju klasičnu riojansku eleganciju sa izuzetnom dosljednošću i potencijalom za odležavanje. Proizvedena pretežno od Tempranilla sa imanja Ygay u Rioja Alti, Reserva predstavlja prepoznatljivi stil kuće: profinjen, skladan i duboko izražajan prema vinogradu i tradiciji.

Reserva 2021 pokazuje duboku rubin-crvenu boju sa sjajnim granatnim odsjajima. Miris je mirisan i slojevit, sa aromama crne trešnje, šljive, kupine, ljubičice, kedra, duvana, vanile i slatkih začina, isprepletenih sa notama balzamičnog bilja, kakaa i suptilne mineralnosti. Na nepcu je vino elegantno, ali strukturirano, kombinujući živahno tamno voće sa uglađenim taninima, svježinom i fino integrisanim drvetom. Harmonično i postojano, postepeno se razvija ka dugom, baršunastom završetku obilježenom slanom kompleksnošću, začinima i klasičnom finoćom Rioje.

Svestrana i gastronomski veoma zahvalna Rioja, Marqués de Murrieta Reserva odlično se slaže sa pečenim mesom, jagnjetinom, grilovanim povrćem, jelima sa pečurkama, iberijskim suhomesnatim proizvodima, odležalim sirevima i mediteranskom kuhinjom.

95 points - The Wine Advocate

Founded in 1852 and regarded as one of the historic estates of Rioja, Marqués de Murrieta has long been celebrated for producing wines that combine classical Rioja elegance with remarkable consistency and ageing potential. Sourced primarily from Tempranillo grown on the Ygay Estate in Rioja Alta, the Reserva represents the house’s signature style: refined, balanced, and deeply expressive of both vineyard and tradition.

The 2021 Reserva displays a deep ruby-red colour with bright garnet reflections. The nose is fragrant and beautifully layered, revealing aromas of black cherry, plum, blackberry, violets, cedar, tobacco, vanilla, and sweet spice, intertwined with notes of balsamic herbs, cocoa, and subtle mineral nuances. On the palate, the wine is elegant yet structured, combining vibrant dark fruit with polished tannins, freshness, and finely integrated oak. Harmonious and persistent, it unfolds gradually into a long, velvety finish marked by savoury complexity, spice, and classical Rioja finesse.

A versatile and gastronomic Rioja, Marqués de Murrieta Reserva pairs beautifully with roasted meats, lamb, grilled vegetables, mushroom dishes, Iberian charcuterie, aged cheeses, and Mediterranean cuisine.
