A post-lockdown springtime bbq (The garden): We opened this after the Ardanza Reserva 2009 and found it stood up remarkably well given the significant difference in price. This was more richly fruited, more balanced, more together, and felt like it had longer ahead of it. Certainly not fading. Interesting comparison.

1/1, good cork. Decanted 1/2 hr. Very deep ruby core, narrow pale ruby rim. Nose shows ripe strawberry fruit, touch of vanilla, quite rich but fresh too. Medium/full bodied on the palate, quite mouth-filling, generous, ripe strawberry fruit, soft tannins, some spice and vanilla but quite fruit driven, then lovely vibrant acidity carries a medium/good length slightly grippy finish. Really very good and drinking well.

Absolut ett anständigt vin. Inte helt i balans i den här fasen och nu lite för mycket dragning åt sötsyltade körsbär men kommer absolut att bli ett helt ok vin. Både garnacha, grachiano och temranillo i den här.
