L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"The 2009 Viña Arana Reserva is mostly Tempranillo with some 5% Mazuelo (Cariñena), with a long aging in oak barrels (three years with six manual rackings). It's a polished and soft red, classic Rioja. Translucent and bright with some orange around the edges, it feels light and tertiary with balsamic aromas of cigar ash and incense, spicy and developed. The palate is consistent, medium-bodied, with fine tannins and fully developed. Ready to go. 150,000 bottles produced." - Luis Gutiérrez. 

James Suckling:

"This is a powerful and rich red with black truffle and blueberry character. Sweet tobacco, too. Full body, tannic and flavorful. Yet open and polished. Fantastic finish. Great ageing potential. Drink or hold."

Decanter:

Arana is a great-value choice, with five years of ageing, no less. However, big brother Ardanza is a steal at just £5-£10 more; and, even better, 890 would be a fab gift! - Sarah Jane Evans.
