May 5, 2022 - Similar notes as our last tasting in March 2020 Still several years left in the bottle. Rich, concentrated fruit in the nose and flavor. Black cherries, blackberries, chocolate, licorice, and hints of mint and floral. A full bodied wine, well balanced with nice acidity and complexity, and a long lingering finish.

January 21, 2022 - Fantastic wine. Fully mature and will hold at this excellent level for many years.
Cedar, graphite. Similar to an aged left bank Bordeaux.
Just lovely. -

September 22, 2020 - Fantastic, drinking really well after an hour of slow ox. Developed nose of mushroom and smoke. Well integrated oak, lovely black fruit and mineral on the palate with a saline touch that compliments the savoury. Good concentration, complexe and long. Can develop further in the cellar but lovely now. Paired very well with beef Wellington.

3/9/2003 (link)(Artadi Pagos Viejos) Gorgeous nose of spicey cherries, cinnamon, light eucalyptus, passion fruit, mango and minerals. Incredibly concentrated in the mouth with great levels of richness. Solid acids pump the fruit out on the finish. The passion fruit and pomegranite really come through on the finish. This is one of the most exotic (tropical) Riojas I have ever had.
