Rioja Reserva, 'Vina Ardanza', La Rioja Alta 2015

Garnet red in color, medium-high depth, with an elegant palate. The nose stands out for its power, a highly-complex blend of spicy and balsamic aromas of pastry, vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa, coffee and nutmeg, and notes of stewed red fruits.

Outstanding balance, pleasant freshness and great structure in the mouth, with supple, round tannins. Very pleasant mouthfeel. An ample aftertaste of spicy notes, sweet licorice and ripe fruit makes this a timeless wine.

Pair with roast lamb, red meats, barbeques, large game, spicy fish casseroles and smoked and aged cheeses.
