James Suckling Review
Rated 96
Aromas of black mushrooms, sweet cherries and plums with some cedar and intense lavender. Full-bodied with chewy yet polished tannins and beautiful presence at the finish. Lively and intense. Better after 2025, but already very impressive.

Wine Tasting Notes
A very dark black-cherry color with faint brick-red glints. Marques De Riscal Gran Reserva Rioja has an intense, complex nose with hints of black pepper, balsamic aromas and slight toastiness, reminding you of fine oak. On the palate, the ageing nuances are in perfect harmony with the fruit, with good tannin concentration, round and supple, with a long, silky smooth finish.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
