Vina Alarde Gran Reserva 2013 750ml

 Deep black cherry color with tawny hues. Subtle and complex nose, with aromas of black fruit and spice and vanilla from the oak aging. Harmonious, elegant and smooth yet full-bodied with good tannin. Long and pleasant finish.

90 Points by Decanter

Simple, structured mellow-oaked Rioja GR with a ripe and baked fruit fruit profile and dusty tannins. Ticks a lot of boxes, great value too.

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Earthy, leafy plum and berry aromas are spicy, while this cool-vintage reserva feels dense and grabby. Flavors of tobacco, spiced plum and oak outmuscle the wine's fruit, while this is mouthfilling but plodding on the finish. Drink through 2022.
