Great red fruit and salinity. Creamy and oxidative like a baby LdH rosado; only complaint is the oak is a bit much right now but should work itself out. — 13 days ago

Ardanza is always so great for the price. 2015 has beautiful fruit and concentration. Tobacco. Needs 3-4 years but ready now if you like ‘em young like Dylon. Pair with still quivering rare T-Bone steak in San Sebastián. — 3 days ago

Meaty nose with dark red fruit undertones. The palate features dark cherry, cranberry, ripe strawberry, and lots of spice. Medium tannins, high alcohol, and high acid. — 5 days ago

Might be a bit past its prime but still quite good. Light ruby color with a brick rim. Aromas and flavors of dark cherry, rose petals, dark chocolate, leather, tobacco and dried herbs. Smooth and dusty tannins. Brimming with acidity. Extremely complex, but maybe just a touch out of balance. Still a pleasure. Thank You John P. — 21 days ago

Expressive, enticing, aetheric.
Dusty cherries, tobacco leaf, leather, (very) dark chocolate, wood finish, a hint of cigar box. So fresh, so uplifting, so youthful!
On the palate amazing purity, zingy cherry acidity, a hint of orange peel, present, juicy yet very, very fine tannins. After a few hours this shows a darker, richer side. Really nice flow and great energy!
Brilliant, just brilliant. And amazing vale, for this quality! — 8 days ago
