Finca de los Arandinos Rioja 'Crianza' 2010

15.5pts - Jancis Robinson

Finca de los Arandinos offers lightness of Garnacha with aromas of flowers & red berries. There is a beautiful minerality, together with the spiciness & wood hints of the barrel ageing.
Delicate & elegant, with a beautiful freshness, fine texture, nice intensity & persistence with a precise & clean finish. Altogether gives a complex expression for a very unusual Rioja.
