9.1

Clear and bright deep ruby, clean pronounced nose curry, raspberries and cranberries, clove and dark chocolate. It's dry with med+ acidity, high fine and sweet tannins the alcohol is high and it's full bodied. Medium+ flavors of dark chocolate raspberries, cranberries and vainilla. It has a slightly dry texture and the finish is medium +. Very good bordering on outstanding a solid wine for the price. You can drink and has potential to age another 10 years, due to its balance between fruit and tannins that give it the stuff for aging. #rioja #artadi — 8 years ago

Big and richly fruited and oaked nose, firm and tannic, red and blue fresh fruits. I like this wine better with 5 years of age once the oak integrates, but if you like your wines intense and powerful this is the time to open.
Made from 20-40 yo vines.

Better by a wide margin on day 2, now this tasted like a Rioja! Dried flowers, violet perfume, crushed rock, plum and raspberry, a touch of asphalt. #artadi #rioja — 10 years ago

A great value at $10-12, this is rich but with just enough acidity to make it work well. Not over complex but definitely on the deep end of the yum side. #artadi — 9 years ago

Finally softened up and is drinking well. Blueberry, creme d'cassis, brewed coffee, and a mild streak of minerality. Medium+ body and good acidity lift a very fine finish. #under$20 #valuewine #spain #rioja #artadi #wine — 11 years ago
