Altanza Reserva - 2017 (750ml) Sardinia dried stone fruit and orange91 points Vinous The 2017 Reserva, 100% Tempranillo from Rioja Alta and Oriental, spent 18 months in French oak barrels and another three in foudres. This dark garnet wine exudes a Mediterranean, sun kissed character with herbal and ripe black fruit notes. It's dry and intense on the palate, with a lingering, faintly tannic feel and a caramel finish. By Joaqun Hidalgo on December 2023
