La Rioja Alta Ardanza Reserva 2016

Savory and complex with dried orange peel, cedar and plenty of sweet spices, walnuts, caramel, dried mushrooms and pine needles. Shows maturity here, with a medium body and superb freshness. Incredibly long finish with lots of truffle and walnut. Lasts over a minute. Very complete now, but you can still hold it [until the early 2030s]. Score – 95. (jamessuckling.com, Nov. 20, 2022)
