Marqués de Riscal--Vintage 1945
Rioja. Bodegas Marqués de Riscal
Vintage
1945 was a good quality vintage in Elciego, although it was average in Rioja. The main problems were frosts in May, a very cool August and low rainfall which was poorly distributed. Rioja Alavesa produced some outstanding wines
Tasting Note: Very beautiful, dark colour. Fine Bouquet. Very concentrated tannins and powerful acidity on the palate which suggests that it was a wine that was austere in its youth and has needed time to mellow, soften and evolve into what is today an extraordinary wine with incredible complexity
This magnum has been released by Marqués de Riscal specifically for this sale and is the first time that a magnum of this wine has ever appeared at auction
