An outstanding Rioja2010 was a great vintage, the wine is exceptional. Viña Ardanza Selección Especial has come ahead of all recent vintages. The wine is expressive, aromatic, very elegant and clean a classic Rioja. The palate is polished and sleek but shows plenty of energy, with very fine tannins and very good harmony and persistence. Very good complexity, on the nose it has spice and smoke and moves to earthy tones, hints cherries in liqueur, curry, diesel, A great Viña Ardanza drinking window 2019-2035.
