March 10, 2024 - Dee red colour with a little fading at the rim.
Ripe strawberry and plum with menthol and aromatic tobacco notes,
Smells very ripe and even a little medicinal.
Very soft tannins, fruit opulent and a little stewed, warming alcohol, walnut and tobacco. Very long.
Not sure if it’s the storage , I bought this as bankrupt stock, but this seems more developed than I expected. Definitely not a legendary Ardanza like the 2010, it’s a bit fat and boozy, but as usual lots of pleasure for the money. Not sure how this will age.2 people found this helpful 3,102 views
