93 Points

Monday, December 19, 2011 - Hallmark of a traditional Rioja - the oak is well integrated and never overwhelming, aged and ready to drink. Warm candied nose w mint. Fresh raspberries, coffee powder and a touch of herbs making things interesting. Classy, balanced, well-judged. Tannins already resolved and velvety. Mid-bodied. Somehow reminded me of a good class Pomerol. Able to hold its own against wines 3x its price -QPR over the roof. http://sgbordeaux.blogspot.com/2011/12/la-rioja-alta-vina-ardanza-2001.html
