Community Tasting Note

• HandmadeHomemade Likes this wine:

  March 30, 2024 - Decanted for 2hrs, low/no sediment as others have stated. Pours a medium ruby in the glass. Med +, developing aromas of tobacco, soy, dried herbs (sage, lavendar), dried & fresh brambles, red raspberry, pomegranate, dried cranberry, prune & plum, dry earth, cedar, leather, rose, dried orange peel, smoke- complex and classic Rioja. In the mouth, the wine is med/+ bodied, high acid, medium + tannin, med alcohol, med + palate intensity, long finish. Drink now, or hold- for me in a perfect middle age spot, beginning of the long plateau into maturity. Overall, outstanding.

  I had a 2015 Viña Ardanza a few weeks back, gave it two hours of air. Helped a lot.
