Winery review:

Marqués de Riscal Reserva is one of the most famous wines in Spain, due to its long history, consistent high quality and also for the many literary references it has inspired over the years.

My review: 

The packaging of this wine is very nice, I was attracted by the packaging at first sight.  When I first tasted it, I loved its balanced texture. It has a very complex flavor with a very strong aroma.  I can feel the intense fruity, black pepper aromas. This wine goes well with ham and mild cheeses.
