The 1987 Vina Arana Reserva exhibits a subtle lead pencil, fruity nose, with scents of tobacco and minerals, that is reminiscent of a fine Graves. New oak is apparent, but this wine's overall style emphasizes ripe fruit, a sense of elegance, suppleness, and clean, friendly, generous scents and flavors. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. As I have stated many times, La Rioja Alta is a classic producer of traditionally-styled Rioja - long cask aging and wines that are close to full maturity when released.Importer: Europvin, USA, Watertown, MA; tel.
