Not as much oak as I was expecting, but tons of juice-like fruit. I wonder if they micro-oxidize? This is a wine that lacks risk, but is a safe bet if you don't care about terroir. — 11 years ago

Another score from Paris, drinking now in Amsterdam. Wonder how it pairs with Mushrooms ;) — 12 years ago

Makes me wonder why more people don't drink Riojas when this is probably better than the majority of mediocre cabs, merlot, Pinot, etc for the same price. — 13 years ago

What a treat! Through the wonder of #coravin I was able to taste a glass of this ripe black fruit powerhouse. It's aged beautifully. — 11 years ago

Such a great Ardanza. Fruit acidity and all the classic tertiary magic. I wonder if today's Ardanza's will age with such grace. I miss the old school label too. — 12 years ago

Not bad if you like a fruity wine. Not too sweet like peaches can be sometimes. I think we paid about $6 on sale. So, price was on the cheap end, but we liked it with the risotto. — 11 years ago
