Miguel Merino La Quinta Cruz Rioja

92/100 Decanter “One of the few single variety Mazuelos in Rioja, from a vineyard in Briones planted on gravelly soils in 1986. Matured in 500l and 225l French oak, giving fine cedar aromas, overlaying redcurrent and blueberry fruits. The palte is rich: blue and red fruits, soice, well-balanced freshness. Supple tannins and a ripe finish. A difficult, frostbitten year but a fine wine.”

Mazuelo de la Quinta Cruz is only produced in special vintages, when  the  grapes  reach  optimum maturity. Aged for 10 months in French and American oak barrels. Aromas of ripe dark and red fruit alongside spices. Intense palate full of sweet fruits and earthy flavours. Powerful with a good tannic structure and a complex finish.
