 |  Subject: Marques de Caceres Gran Reserva 1992, Rioja  Fri May 25, 2007 10:11 pm | |
| Grapes: Temranillo 85%, 15 % Granacha Tinta and Graciano.
Color: Brown, red with some orange rim. Medium depth and intensity.
Nose: Complex but a little to sweet fruit for me, raisins, prunes, chocolate, nicely oaked 50/50 american and french, 50% new oak, spices like cinnamon.
Palate: Medium bodied, good consentration of mature fruit, prunes, chocolate, vanilla oak, warm spices, medium good structure and balance. Quiet complex.
Foodmatch: Lambcarrè with estragon, perfect.
A classic Rioja, very nicely oaked not a wooden taste that you find in many Rioja wines made in the classic maner. A little to sweet maybe, a little boring. | |
