RESERVA 2009 DOCa Rioja
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note Producer VIŅA ARANA
Intense deep purple red colour. Extremely cedary, spicy, baked plum nose. Dry, medium bodied, solid, well structured, dense, mouthfilling, plummy, mocha-chocolate flavours with a lingering, high acid very cedary finish. This hefty Reserva has a huge amount of oak that makes it somewhat off balance, at least at the moment. Has 13.5% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar. The 2005 (**/**+) was released on April 26, 2016 at $39.95. CSPC 368373
