La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Reserva 2015

La Rioja Alta 904 Gran Reserva 2011
$190.00The most traditional of wines, and one of my favourites from anywhere. Dried flowers, dried herbs, plum, blueberry, cherry, blackcurrant, sage, lavender, balsamic and tobacco. Presence.

La Rioja Alta Finca Martelo 2015
$105.00Intensely complex and aromas of blueberry, sweet raspberry, dark cherry, blackberry, lavender soap, lavender wood and five spice. Boom! So much energy and muscle, super tight, tense and coiled. Even the tannins are complex, sleek, firm and finally, powdery. Deep core and not the concentration of sweet fruit, but a deep core of savoury, spicy, […]
