Heiner Lobenberg om:
Vina Ardanza Reserva 2017

94–95
/100

Reserva kommer fra den 30 år gamle Vina Ardanza-ejendom i hjertet af Rioja Alta. Den blev modnet i 36 måneder på amerikanske egetræsfade, før den blev yderligere modnet i flasken. Reserva er smuk at se på: Medium kirsebærrød i farven med lyse orange toner på kanten. Næsen er omgivet af en intens aroma af vilde bær, et strejf af kokosnød, kanel, tobak og læder. Meget kompleks. Vanvittig struktur i munden med silkebløde tanniner. Meget langvarig. 94-95/100

Suckling om: Vina Ardanza Reserva

A more vibrant and fruitier expression of Ardanza this year with strawberries, mussels, warm spices and berries. Round and silky on the palate with lovely spices and a long, nicely saline finish. A nice touch of creaminess works really well here and further extends the finish. 80% tempranillo and 20% garnacha. Drink or hold. 95/100

Tim Atkin om: Vina Ardanza Reserva

Made, as many wines were in the past, with a combination of Tempranillo from the Rioja Alta sub-region and 20% Garnacha from Tudelilla in the Rioja Oriental, this is a delicious release of Ardanza that shows no sign of the heat of the 2017 growing season. Aged for three years in American oak, it's tangy, savoury, layered and complex, with leather and tobacco leaf aromas, wild strawberry and red cherry fruit and appealing vanilla sweetness. 2024-30 94/100

Parker om: Vina Ardanza Reserva

2017 was not an easy harvest, but it produced some beautiful and classical wines, like the 2017 Viña Ardanza Reserva, which shows a little more advancement and polish and is ready to drink. It was produced with 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha from their vineyard La Pedriza in Tudelilla. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in American oak barrels, 36 months for the Tempranillo and 30 for the Garnacha (that was harvested 15 days later), with six rackings. It's ripe and aromatic, tertiary, with 14.5% alcohol and mellow acidity, a medium-bodied palate and sleek tannins. It has a pungent note of clove and pepper, some licorice and ink and the cherries in liqueur from the Garnacha. An updated classical Ardanza. 600,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2021. 94/100
