La Rioja Alta
Reserva Viña Ardanza Rioja Tempranillo Garnacha


Red and dark fruit, cherries, chocolate, orange peel, coffee. Oak very well handled, discreet (thought it more prominent in the past). Present tannins. A beauty

had this a couple times & find the '04 seems to be very new world-esque. ripe black fruit: cherry, currant and raspberry, as well as an aroma I'll unabashedly call vanilla Dutch masters. Light w/ a creamy, round palate, which is surprisingly more Rioja-like than the nose.

Цвет рубиновый, умеренно полный. Сначала животинка и кожа, затем спелая сладкая вишня, потом кожа, чуть сладковато, ваниль, замша. Тело умеренно плотное, танины умеренные, чуть суховатые, не вполне готовые. Вкус полный, ягоды, кожа. Довольно высокая кислотность. Послевкусие суховатое, долгое.

This 04 was corked, thus depriving us of a side-by-side comparison with the 05.
