There’s some liquorice and then the finish hints at coffee and bitter chocolate

in balanced and elegant yet powerful style

2018 | Marques de Murrieta 'Capellania' Reserva | Rioja Dhondt-Grellet structured sideThere's a broad, expansive feel to the palate, where layered flavors of patisserie apple, pear, tangerine peel and almond biscotti join dried mint, chamomile, beeswax and graphite accents. That focus and expression is buoyed by well honed acidity and an underpinning of minerally salt and petrol notes, resulting in a lovely gauzy weight and harmony overall. 93 Pts Wine Spectator
