This Rioja blend needs to be open a long time before consuming. Once it settles down, it is a great wine. So complex and rich. Definite fruity Grenache notes mix with deep Tempranillo. A great wine. — 8 days ago
All of the quintessential aromas and flavors of great Rioja tempranillo.
Paired perfectly with a full fat Katz pastrami on rye.

A sharp ache in the tongue. It’s sour but also quite dry. 13% abv though it leaves a strong after taste. The sharp note gets dull as it aerates. — 6 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! — 9 days ago
Very nice with prime filet mignion, convex roasted sliced potatoes, fresh new asparagus, and small yellow zucchini. Some fruit and mild tannins. — a day 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
