Tasting notes Viña Arana Gran Reserva 2016

Red wine Gran Reserva Vegan. 36 months in American oak barrels.

Viña Arana Gran Reserva 2016 unfolds a spectrum of scents where ripe red fruits, such as blackberries and strawberries, interweave with sweet hints of preserves. In the background, aging notes like vanilla, cedar, tobacco, and coffee contribute a subtle elegance. On the palate, it is presented as refreshing and well-structured, with a balance that pirouettes between velvety tannins and a complexity that beckons one to delve into each sip. Its finish is protracted and unveils a concentration of flavors that linger with poise.
