Natalie's Score: 93/100

From La Rioja Alta, Ardanza Reserva 2016 (375 ml) is the perfect size for one to enjoy with a rack of lamb. Dry, full-bodied and concentrated on the palate with dark plum, cherry, nutty Shitake mushroom and sweet baking spice flavours, the wine finishes with a twist of orange zest on a very long finish. Lots to enjoy here through 2032.

Food pairings: lamb and veal chops from the grill, venison ragu, pork tenderloin.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
