Colour

Wine with a deep cherry color, intense, with barely any signs of evolution.

AROMA:

On the nose, it is very expressive with notes of licorice, cinnamon, and black pepper, where the long oak aging is barely noticeable, thanks to its great complexity and concentration of ripe fruit.

TASTE:

On the palate, it is fresh, with very pleasant polished tannins, good structure but easy to drink. The finish is long and leaves subtle balsamic hints of great quality

An excellent wine to accompany starters such as Iberian ham, semi-cured cheeses and dishes such as stews, legumes, game birds or grilled meats and roasts.

In Marqués de Riscal, there were wines from the wine cellar, within its Historic Reserve, such as the Medoc Reserve and the XR without becoming commercial names. In the style of Jerez foremen, the winemaker marked some of his barrels with a chalk with the word XR having found some special characteristics that were not found in others. This XR was never commercialized, but it was always a reference for the master winemaker. This custom lasted almost a century, between the harvests of 1869 and 1964. The XR 2015, its first vintage, is a tribute to all the master winemakers who, from Jean Pineau to the present day, have contributed to forging a part of the best history of Spanish wine in Marqués de Riscal.
