La Rioja Alta Vina Arana Gran Reserva 2012

"Intense aromas with outstanding notes of redcurrants, raspberries, wild blackberries and ripe red plums. These create a complex bouquet alongside the balsamic notes from the barrel: vanilla, cloves, coffee, caramel and brioche. Elegant, vibrant and well-balanced on the palate, with smooth, sweet tannins and a savoury character on the finish. The long maturation has created exactly what we look for in our Gran Reserva's: complexity and elegance. To enjoy now, but with a long life ahead."  Julio Senz, Head Winemaker
