Incredible Tempranillo. Tasted 2007, 2010, and 2011 — 8 years ago
Burgundy meets Rioja! Amazing Tempranillo showing very well at 17 years of age. Menthol, eucalyptus, dark red berries, in an elegant and Burgundian package with excellent acidity that still has plenty of life left. El Pison is the top, single vineyard wine from Artadi. — 8 years ago
Nice balance and structure to be consumed over the next 5 years. Very enjoyable especially given its price point — 9 years ago

2007 Marques de Murroeta Castillo Ygay Rioja. Ordered off the list at Kokk in SF bc the bottle of ‘94 Artadi we brought was a bad bottle. Decanted this, but still just way too big. Stuck to the mouth; big, juicy red fruit flavor (plum jam). Infanticide. — 4 years ago
Very light and fruity. — 7 years ago
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! — 7 years ago
2002 Hundred Acre CS. Dinner at Tap during staycation. This followed the '94 Artadi Tempranillo and '08 Flowers PN. Massive. It was fun to have such hugely different wines back-to-back-to-back. Light, fruit-forward PN, followed by funky, earthy Tempranillo, and then this massive CA wine. Coated the mouth, lots of tannin- but not overpoweringly so. Tons of ripe, lush fruit- dark cherry, plum, currant- and even chocolate, and herbs. Not too oaky. This wine was really complex and really fun to drink. All enjoyed and thought it was great. — 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.
