Description

“Traditional and beautiful in character with plum, balsamic, orange-peel and leather aromas and flavors. Its medium-to full-bodied with creamy texture and a long, intense aftertaste. Drink or hold.” 95 POINTS: James Suckling

The wine is a prototype of polished and aged Rioja with a ruby color with some orange and a developed nose with subtle aromas of decayed leaves, sweet spices and some cherries in liqueur even, quite complex and harmonious. The palate is velvety but rich, with resolved tannins and a fine chalky mouthfeel, sleek and elegant, terribly balanced. The flavors are pure and defined, and there is an overall sense of harmony that I like very much. Brilliant Ardanza!”
