92 WA "The 1996 Marques de Riscal Gran Reserva is still purple. It delivers an expressive nose of balsamic and Asian spices leading to a savory, balanced lengthy wine revealing no age. It appears to have many years of life remaining (particularly when taken in the context of the ancient vintages that followed)."

Spain's most famous region, producing Tempranillo-based reds traditionally aged in American oak. Its wines are known for savory complexity, silky texture and graceful evolution over decades.
Spain's premier red-wine appellation, producing Tempranillo-based blends aged in oak and classified by aging as Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva.
Spain's noble red grape, producing structured, savory wines of red fruit and leather that respond beautifully to oak aging in Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
