The 2005 Ardiles is composed of 45% Garnacha, 34% Carinena, 18% Syrah, and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark ruby-colored, it reveals an alluring bouquet of slate, mineral, cherry, and blueberry. Seamless on the palate, this is a forward Priorat for drinking over the next 8-10 years. It is also an excellent value for a wine from this increasingly expensive D.O.
