Magnificent wine, impeccable fruit concentration, dense and layered complexity with a nuanced chalkiness that’s bringing freshness and is flirting in the background. Similar to a damn good Pomerol in its combination between opulent fruit and mineral elegance. Brilliant

I visited Artadi winery in Rioja recently and the actual vineyard where this wine was produced. 75 year old vines in beautiful, picturesque, magnesium-rich soils. Smooth tannins and good acidity, wet earth, mocha, peppercorn, black cherry, very savory! Elegant!

In 2004 Robert Parker gave this wine a 100. I got this bottle as a perk for pouring for Wine and Spirits Magazine

Fick dricka El Pison två dagar i rad av en slump! Kul! Men även denna bevisar tesen om att det här är bara att stoppa undan. Har samma ”pastilliga” karaktär med mörka bär och riktigt torr. Nästa El Pison jag dricker får vara lite äldre helst...
