Community Tasting Note

  February 27, 2014 - Nice wine, interesting given its age. The wine needed time to open up, it seemed closed down and required air (1 hour) to allow the fruit come out. Because there was an intermingled flavor profile, I believe this wine was better years ago. Drink now.

  The best is yet to come here. This style deserves good awards for those who are patient enough...
  Any rush with 2001 Ardanza.
  Btw 2005 is coming so if you prefer Rioja when is nothing more than a teen why not to try it now?
  Cheers!
