"Der Top-Wein ist der Santa Cruz de Artazu, ein expressiver 100%tiger Garnacha, der sich schon mit seiner tiefen kirschroten Farbe beliebt macht. Im Duftpanorama finden sich Zwetschgen, Mirabellen und Blaubeerkonfitüre. Am Gaumen herrlich saftig und fruchtbetont, ohne dabei Tiefgang vermissen zu lassen. Hier macht sich dann die Handschrift von Artadi wohltuend bemerkbar."

Dark ruby color, lightening a bit at the edge. Spicy , crushed berries, cherries, and a bit of fruit liqueur on the nose. Medium body with soft tannins and good acidity. Tart cherries, crushed berries, a bit of dried herbs on the palate. Decent length finish with cherries and berries. Not as memorable as the 2001 vintage, but an easy drinking wine for when you want something tasty you don't have to think about.

Nice red. On the light side. Nice finish. Not diminished by time, but no value in waiting. Might have been nicer younger.

No notes taken, but these have really come around. Good, solid wine for the price but nothing special.
