Vina Arana Reserva--Vintage 1988 Rioja. La Rioja Alta Tasting note: Clean, bright, medium bodied and cherry red in colour. This wine follows the tradition of the typical wines of the sub-area of Rioja Alta. It has a 'classic' Vina Arana nose, being fine and delicate and at the same time complex and enveloping. In the mouth, the wine is smooth, round and balanced. The years the wine spent in bottle are apparent. The unity of the sweet flavours of the alcohol, the acidity and the slight bitterness brought by the tannins, is optimum.
