Tasting Notes
The 1994 Rioja Muriel Reserva shows a garnet-red hue and brick-orange reflections at the rim. The nose is rich and inviting, with ripe red fruit notes, dried fruits, leather, tobacco, vanilla, cedar, and baking spices. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with flavors of dried cherry, fig, raisin, leather, tobacco, and cedar. The tannins soften with age but still provide structure and texture. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant combination of fruit, spice, and earthy notes, with a subtle hint of acidity.
Serving & Food Pairing
This wine is best to be decanted and served slightly below room temperature, around 16-18°C. Rioja Reserva wines pair well with lamb dishes, Spanish cuisine, and aged cheeses. Their moderate tannins and savory flavours complement lamb dishes, while their acidity and fruitiness complement Spanish cuisine. The wine's acidity helps cut through the richness of aged cheeses, creating a harmonious pairing.
