La Rioja Alta Reserva Viña Ardanza Rioja Tempranillo Garnacha 2000
Medium-high cherry red robe, with orange tinted tones on the edge of the glass, clear and brilliant. Intense and complex to the nose. Wild berry aromas predominate, blended with hints of coconut, cinnamon, tobacco and leather. Full-bodied and well structured to the palate, with silky and enveloping tannins. Long after-taste acquired from its lengthy time in bottle, where its elegant bouquet gains in intensity. This Vina Ardanza continues to evolve without losing its traditional qualities.

Drunk w Christmas Eve dinner 2020 of roasted eye of round, porcini gravy, mash etc. Medium plus ruby. Forest-y aromas of almond tinged cherry, violets. Wife claims noticable Am oak, but I don't really feel it here (bottle age?) Acidity is high. This feels like it could easily go another 20 years.

Delicious. Elegance and grace with more tertiary aromas showing spice and earth and bricks. Reminiscent of more feminine Brunelli. Drinking very nicely don't hold it in your cellar much longer.

Love this savory style. Lots of dusty cherry and espresso bean. Nicely together on a beautiful 15 year old wine.

The first thing that grabs you about this beauty is the lively acidity - still present and poignant many years after bottling. Candied plums, blackberries, dark cherry, toast, tobacco, and some leather on the nose. Light body with supple, delicate tannins. Hints of baking spices and cured meat in the finish.
