    Marqués del Puerto 1985 Roman Paladino Gran Reserva (Rioja)

    A nice Rioja nose of strawberries and creamy oak. After 15 years it has held onto its power. A little lean in the body; the palate has a snappy berry flavor accented by licorice and herbs. Favorably speaking, the finish is streamlined and precise, however, some might read it as tart and lean.
