This lovely Carmenere was quite seductive. It was reinforced with a touch of petit Verdo and resulted in a black ink color. It is full and rich body and nose;-) the nose is tempting and complex with layers of green pepper, cherries, prunes, black current, chocolate and licorice. The body is big and bold, full of fruits and solid tannins, the finish is long and dry and this one clearly needs more cellaring time. My score 88+, drink 2016-2022 — 11 years ago
Classic Rioja Viña Muriel Gran Reserva! Well balanced, red fruits and crianza aromas typical of the winemaker. Elegant and complex... — 12 years ago
The Merlot taste seems to come out the most in this wine. Full bodied - pairs really well with meats. Pretty decent drink overall. (Update) my second bottle tasted better for some reason, more acidic and tannic with the taste from the local Areni grape coming out stronger. I guess that says more about the subjectivity of such reviews than anything else... I think I had the '11 in both cases. — 10 years ago

Животный тон в начале, косточки и кожура красных ягод в аромате, тело легкое, кислотность высокая, танины нежные, в развитии появляется лёгкий древесный тон. В целом-питко, тело слегка пустоватое. — 11 years ago
