Introduction
As the 2017 is the brand new vintage, we wanted to check, how the 2017 compares to the 2015. To us, the Ardanza is a wine with a fantastic qpr among Spanish wines, especially Rioja. If you watch the market carefully, you can get these wines for an amount below 23 €.

Fantastic nose, full of vanilla, tanin sweetness, quite developed, however, the body shows that the wine could be aged further to be fully enjoyable. However, a fantacstic qpr. Dońt miss it!

Beautiful nose from the very beginning, did not change a lot with air. However, the palate was a bit underdeveloped, compared to the 2015.
Closing
The 2017 integrates well in the flight of all Ardanza wines but (as one might expect) needs some time to fully integrate / develop its palate.
Looking forward to a bright Ardanza future. :)
