Written Notes

Garnet red, medium-high depth, with an elegant palette. The nose stands out for its power, a highly-complex blend of spicy and balsamic aromas of sweet liquorice, patisserie, vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa, coffee and nutmeg, and notes of stewed red fruits. Outstanding balance, pleasant freshness and great structure in the mouth, with supple, round tannins. Very pleasant mouthfeel. An ample aftertaste of spicy notes, sweet liquorice and ripe fruit makes Viña Ardanza 2015 a timeless wine, with tremendous laying-down potential and one of the best vintages of the XXI.

Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is ruby red, medium and mature. On the nose it is mature and complex. The taste is elegant, fresh,voluptuous, perfumed, and dry, warming, with medium tannin, with sweet tannins, and high in acidity, medium-bodied, with perfectly balanced, well-structured structure and mature. On the palate it is layered and has cherry, cigar-box, earthy, mineral, pepper, vanilla, raspberry, tobacco and coffee flavours. The finish is long and spicy. This wine is outstanding. I paid around 10-30€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 20-30 years and decant at least 30min before tasting. Good value for money. I do recommend. TOP

Aromas of pine needles, ginger, red fruits and cedar. Mushroom too, plus bark and mint. Complex. Full body, ultra fine tannins and a tangy and bright finish. Makes you want to drink it. Made from 90% Tempranillo with 10% Graciano from 40+ year-old vineyards in the Briñas, Labastida, and Villalba.
