Deep red garnet color. Aromatically rich spicy nose with ripe cherries, plums and warm spices. Lovely dense, ripe berry fruits palate with earth, spice and blackberry fruit, as well as some subtle green notes adding freshness. Lovely density and freshness as well as some richer spicy notes.

Körsbärsfärgad, som de flesta. Aromer av choklad.Strukturen för denna Marqués de Murrieta var fet.
Det bör tas med mat.
Jag prövade detta med vännerna från Mundillo.

We drank with another couple.
A red Bordeaux Garnacha. Smelling it, I noticed the aromas of blackberries. Very light.
We had it while we waited for the meal, with appetizers.

To enjoy between meals. Perfect wine to share with friends.
Red ruby colour with reddish brown edges. Concentrated aroma of red fruit jam. It tastes a lot like toasts, very nice.
