La Rioja Alta Vina Arana Reserva 1994

Medium ruby, paler than most from this vintage. Plum, sour cherry, tar and an exotic woody spice lift off the nose with real generosity. Dense yet precise, the fruit is concentrated but never shapeless, anchored by a fresh core that keeps everything alive. Fine-grained tannins and lively acidity drive a long, spiced finish. The most complete Arana yet.
