Marques De Murrieta Rioja Reserva 2017 750ml

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The red 2017 Rioja Reserva is their flagship wine, of which they produce 900,000 bottles exclusively from grapes from their 300 hectares of estate vineyards. It's a blend of 83% Tempranillo, 9% Graciano, 6% Mazuelo (Cariñena) and 2% Garnacha and has the character of the vintage, ripe and warm but without excess. The varieties fermented separately, even different plots fermented separately, and they also aged in barrel on their own. The blend is done at the end, after 20 months in American oak barrels. 2017 was a challenging year that they still consider a better vintage than 2018, as they see more concentration and power. The wine is quite lactic and creamy, still showing very young. It does feel undeveloped and in need of some time in bottle. The wine has concentration and clout, and I always consider it an ultimate example of an updated classical Reserva from Rioja. 2017 was the earliest harvest (started and finished in September), a warm and dry year when the Ygay estate miraculously escaped the terrible frost that decimated most of Europe. The challenge for this wine was to contain the ripeness and power, and they have done it. This will be released in spring 2021, so it should be a lot more integrated by then. This is always a sure value. Volumes are lower this year.

Marques De Murrieta Rioja Reserva 2017 is an excellent red wine from D.O. Rioja made by Bodegas Marqués de Murrieta, a classic winery in Rioja that has more than 160 years experience in the world of viniculture. Marques De Murrieta Rioja Reserva 2017 displays a wide range of well-defined aromas of ripe red fruit with nuances of dried violets, red pepper, thyme and graphite. On the palate, Marques De Murrieta Rioja Reserva 2017 is intense, tremendously expressive and well-armed, with a great load of fruit and a long finish.
