Marqués de Murrieta Etiqueta Blanca--Vintage 1981
Rioja
In original cartons
Tasting note: The 1981 Etiqueta Blanca Crianza, a wine that was discontinued in 1983 when it was decided that the Bodega would produce only Reservas and Gran Reservas, spent 49 months in American oak (the current standard for Crianza is 12 months). Medium cherry red with browning at the rim of the glass, on the nose it gives up an expressive perfume of Asian spices, underbrush, brier, cedar, and balsamic. In the mouth it reveals its elegant personality marked by lively acidity, concentrated, spicy fruit, and excellent persistence. It should continue to drink well for another 10-15 years. eRobertParker.com June 2010
