Ardanza 2010… opened a full bottle at 5pm and all gone by 6pm with the help of the Boss of the house. So so good. This isn’t a tannin attack at all, much more approachable to my last bottle in 2021. Very long, concentrated deep red fruits. Soft and silky, not blocky at all. This is excellent and will be brilliant.

Dans une belle phase actuellement, le boise est integre, belle concentration, souplesse, un beau rioja. Va se bonifier sur 10 ans, mais procure deja du plaisir.

Only 2 left from the original 6 and I can’t see either of the bottles making to old age although I am really interested to know what another decade of bottle age does here. This is intense. A lot of powerful tobacco and leather notes, as would be expected, however the tannins are soft and there is some cherry in the finish. Not getting the orange peel that another review highlighted, but the finish is long and complex with much to pick out. Should have bought more!
