Marques de Caceres Rioja Reserva 2015 is a full-bodied red wine with a dark and dense ruby color. The refined and complex aroma offers a delicate touch of cherry, vanilla, and soft toasted notes, creating an alluring bouquet that's hard to resist. On the palate, this wine is well-balanced and offers a silky texture with well-defined tannins. The exquisite flavors combine perfectly to reveal a pleasant fullness that lingers long after the last sip.
This wine is aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, which gives it a unique taste and aroma that's hard to find in other wines. The careful aging process allows the wine to develop its rich flavors and elegant texture, making it a perfect pairing for rich, hearty dishes such as roasted meats or stews.
Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review - Published November 2, 2020 - Rated 92:
Aromas of ripe berries and plums with spices and toasted oak, as well as dried flowers, following through to a full body with chewy tannins and a tannic finish. Lots of fruit and tannins still. Another year or two will soften it. Try in 2021.
Tasting Panel Review - Rated 93:
Dark garnet color and a nose of cherry and earth; smooth, bright, and juicy with mature notes of plum and spice. Balanced and complex, long and complete.
Wine Enthusiast Review - Published 3/1/2021 - Rated 91:
Cassis and raisin aromas announce a fully ripe, warm-year reserva with enough acidic kick on the palate to ensure balance. Blackberry and baked plum flavors benefit from said acidity, while finishing notes of cured beef and baked berry fruits confirm that this a ripe-style Rioja. Drink through 2024. MICHAEL SCHACHNER
