El Recó restaurant (Sant Climent, Barcelona)
Tasted Thursday, December 8, 2011 by Periko with 439 views
All wines but the champagne and cava were decanted between 20 min for the Artadi and plus 2 hours for the Mogador.
We paired the wines with 6 dishes.
We finished with a 2001 Barzen Eiswein.
2000 Artadi Rioja Grandes Añadas 90 Points
Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alavesa, Rioja
Dark color, garnet rim. A bit shy on nose, as probably didn't have enough aireation time. Some subtle ripe black fruit, cinnamon. On palate is medium bodied, smooth, velvety, elegant, some bitterness, still quite acidity, medium finish. Palate, though thin, is good. A wine that didn't thrill at all, but a good example of a good producer getting an acceptable wine in a bad vintage. On the downhill (90-91).
