2019 Vina Ardanza, Reserva, La Rioja Alta, Rioja, Spain
HoldRunning lowLuis Gutiérrez 94/100
Considered by the winemaker to be one of the great vintages of the century, the 2019 growing season was one of real balance. This has resulted in a stunning wine, with vibrant red fruit, fine tannins and signature notes of vanilla, tobacco and spice from meticulous ageing in American oak. An age-worthy yet approachable Rioja with real pedigree. 2019 is a very good year — a small crop of powerful and concentrated wines. This is spicy, structured, balanced and powerful in this warm year, reaching the customary 14.5% alcohol while keeping a pH of 3.54 and 5.5 grams of acidity. For them, 2019 mean
