Marqués de Murrieta Reserva 2003

Marqués de Murrieta Reserva 2003 DO Rioja

Marqués de Murrieta

I must say that I received a gift of three Rioja wines:

1. Viña Tondonia reserva 1999
2. Lealtanza Reserva 2000
3. Marqués de Murriera 2003

And I am only satisfied with Marqués de Murrieta 2003. It is the best of this set, it has a nice post-taste and retro-nasal flavour. Nevertheless, as usual with Rioja wines, it is not competitive. For this price (around 16 EUR) you can find a winde range of wines. The pending item is the texture, although this one is over the average. As usual, Rioja has water texture. The unique exception is Antión selección and San Vicente 2004, but they are not cheap.
