James Suckling
Reviewed July 2025A big wine, but the cabernet sauvignon in the blend gives this tension and form. It's full-bodied with freshness and vivid character. Dark berry, currant and chocolate flavors. Long and flavorful.

Decanter
A warm, dark wine with muscular, broad-shouldered tannins but delicious intensity to the dark fruit. Liquorice root and dark chocolate front the aromatic profile, followed by tobacco, fig leaf and forest floor. (IS)

Wine Enthusiast
Commanding intensity and palate coating tannins lead the charge with this full bodied Tempranillo from Rioja. Aromatics of crushed fennel seed, wet tobacco and cocoa linger through flavors of dark fruits robed in spiced chocolate. A kiss of balsamic appear through the finish. Lavish, structured, and delicious. (EB)
Notes
Marqués de Riscal was founded in 1858 in Elciego, in Rioja Alavesa. More than a century later, the house introduced Barón de Chirel with the 1986 vintage. This 2020 Rioja Reserva continues that line, connecting a historic Rioja producer with a distinctive chapter in its winemaking history.
