La Rioja Alta Viña Ardanza Reserva

Origin: Rioja D.O.Ca. 

Award: 96 JS, 95 RP, 95 TA, 94 WS

Tasting note: Outstandingly bright, lively and intense garnet red, with an incipient cherry red rim. The first nose is very intense, with spicy, balsamic and ripe fruit notes. After swirling, aromas of black pepper, sweet liquorice, nutmeg, coffee, vanilla and cinnamon make their appearance. Mouth full of flavours, with a pleasant acidity and balance, and very polished tannins that enhance the harmonious structure.
