Club Altanza Reserva Rioja - 2016 (750ml)

93 points Vinous

The 2016 Club is 100% Tempranillo blended from sites in Rioja Alta and Alavesa, matured for 18 months in French oak barrels. This garnet-red wine reveals herbal and balsamic notes, accompanied by ripe plums and blackberry nuances alongside hints of vanilla and cedar. Dry and overwhelmingly flavorful on the palate, the mildly concentrated profile and polished tannins contribute to a long-lasting, clingy finish. The 2016 is a decidedly New World style. - By Joaquín Hidalgo on December 2023
