The true glories of Marques de Murrieta are the red wines. The 1982 Rioja Gran Reserva is the first wine from Murrieta's current releases to exhibit complexity. 1982 is a great Rioja vintage. Unfortunately, most of the finest bodegas' wines never made it out of Spain. This wine reveals a huge, sweet, black-cherry, cedar, spice, and vanillin-scented nose, rich, opulent, full-bodied flavors, stunning concentration, and great length and richness. This wine is available on an exclusive basis from the American importer, William Grant & Sons, New York, NY.
