It is a wine of a great aromatic complexity. The candied fruit and spices standout in the nose, with toasty and vanilla aromas followed by more opaque notes that come out little by little like cacao, clove and damp earth. Sweet and powerful notes in the mouth, nice acidity and well-balanced. Its tannins are smooth, with fruit of the forest flavours which are very well mixed with the sweet spices of the wood. Long aftertaste. \n\u003ch2\u003eREVIEW\u003c\/h2\u003e\nRated 96, Gold Medal, Decanter World Wine Awards 2022 \n“Reviewer provided score without wine note.”\n\u003ch2\u003ePRESS REVIEW\u003c\/h2\u003e\nRated 96, Gold Medal, Decanter World Wine Awards 2022 \n“Reviewer provided score without wine note.”\n\u003ch2\u003ePRESS REVIEW\u003c\/h2\u003e\nRated 95, Winecurrent.com, February 2023\n“Deep and brooding in the glass, it gives off strong spice—sandalwood and fruit-driven aromas with the gentlest of swirls—black currant, bramble berry pie, mulberry and Saskatoon berry galore. Some of the above aromas replay on the palate with black currant and bramble berry pie to the fore. This has deft balance between soft, ripe tannin, ripened berry fruit and plenty of tang and pizzazz to and through the finish and lengthy aftertaste.

It feels well balanced across the palate, with mid-weight tannins, flavors of pomegranate, raspberry, milk chocolate, orange zest, toasted almond, and a bright finish.”\n\u003ch2\u003ePRESS REVIEW\u003c\/h2\u003e\nRated 93, Megha Jandhyala, WineAlign, February 2023\n“There is a sense of freshness, elegance, and harmony to this almost 7-year-old gran reserva, made with 100% tempranillo and aged in both French and American oak. I like the intricately interwoven notes of plump cherries and plums, spice, leather, earth, dill, and cigar box. Oak flavours, though prominent, are well-integrated and balanced. The palate is medium to full-bodied, refined, and supple, with firm acids and an intense, lingering finish.”\n\u003ch2\u003ePRESS REVIEW\u003c\/h2\u003e\nRated 92, Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2021\n“Opaque ruby. Oak-spice-accented aromas of ripe red and blue fruits and violet, along with smoke and vanilla overtones. Sweet and focused in the mouth, offering chewy blueberry and cherry preserve flavors sharpened by a peppery flourish. Smoothly melds richness and vivacity and finishes long and smoky, with lingering sweetness and dusty tannins that add closing grip.”\n\u003ch2\u003eRELEASE DATE\u003c\/h2\u003e\nFebruary 18, 2023\n\u003ch2\u003eLCBO VINTAGES#\u003c\/h2\u003e\n453548\n\u003ch2\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n2015\n\u003ch2\u003eSIZE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n750 ml\n\u003ch2\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/h2\u003e\nSpain\n\u003ch2\u003eREGION\u003c\/h2\u003e\nRioja\n\u003ch2\u003eVARIETALS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n100% Tempranillo\n\u003ch2\u003eALCOHOL\u003c\/h2\u003e\n14.0%\n","published_at":"2023-03-15T12:08:39-04:00","created_at":"2023-03-15T12:08:39-04:00","vendor":"Bodegas Altanza","type":"Wine","tags":["BottlePrice:30.95","BottlePriceMap:750:30.95","CaseSize:6","CaseSizeMap:750:6","Category:LCBO","Category:Red Wine","Country:Spain","Country:Spain \u003e Rioja","Cultivation_Method:Vegan","LCBOLink:lealtanza-gran-reserva-2011-453548","override-soh-skip","Profile:95PointWine","rating:96 PTS (DEC)","Region:Rioja","Size:750ml","Type:Red","Type:Wines","Varietal:Tempranillo","Vintage:2015"],"price":18570,"price_min":18570,"price_max":18570,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43869255336191,"title":"750 ml","option1":"750 ml","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"453548","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"LCBO - Bodegas Altanza Gran Reserva DOC 2015 Vegan - 750 ml","public_title":"750 ml","options":["750 ml"],"price":18570,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/8358\/4335\/products\/Bodegas_Altanza_Gran_Reserva_PNG.png?v=1678896521"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/8358\/4335\/products\/Bodegas_Altanza_Gran_Reserva_PNG.png?v=1678896521","options":["Size"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":31943979401471,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":3024,"width":3024,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/8358\/4335\/products\/Bodegas_Altanza_Gran_Reserva_PNG.png?v=1678896521"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":3024,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/8358\/4335\/products\/Bodegas_Altanza_Gran_Reserva_PNG.png?v=1678896521","width":3024}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003c\/h2\u003e\nGarnet red with brick-colored flashes.
