39. Bodegas Domecq, Marqués de Arienzo Rioja Reserva, 1994

900-1,100 ESP; 12.5%

Well blended dark fruit and oak. Garnet red colour tinged with brown. Blackcurrant fruit blends with chocolatey aromas. Still plenty of tannin, suggesting would keep longer, but smooth & full flavour so very drinkable! I thought would go well with dark chocolate, but not 85% cocoa solids. 50-70% would be perfect for this wine.
