Beautiful clear & intense coloring of crushed mulberries. Med intensity on the nose of juicy, ripe black fruits along with hints of fresh dirt and bacon fat. Very smooth tannins. I was sad when the bottle was empty. Will purchase much more of this. — 7 years ago

Impenetrable deep purple; developed nose: smoky, minty, leathery. Has a good fruit still: ripe red berries to prunes. Lighter on the palate than the color and the nose suggest. Quite linear with a good balance. Better on day one. — 10 years ago

My wine pick of the evening. Everyone went down the road of young Cab, and even Syrah in this one - RDD 2011 is potential cellar material - shows incredible youth in fruit with slow aging characteristics. This stuff was insanely good for this vintage. — 7 years ago

Excellent Tempranillo. Might one of the better ones I've tried. It was dry, spicy and rich. It is so good and better than a wine 3x it's price. I feel like I should but more to cellar it. — 9 years ago

Medium bodied, slightly spicy. Not too heavy or strong. Slightly tanniny, minor bitter aftertaste. Very good Tempranillo. — 10 years ago

Fantastic, with its deep ruby color and overall great "yummy factor!" Why can't I find screaming values like this from the U.S.?? — 10 years ago

Strong taste with tannins kicking in almost immediately. The aftertaste has nice nuances from liquorice to bourbon. Works for me. — 10 years ago

9.1

Clear and bright deep ruby, clean pronounced nose curry, raspberries and cranberries, clove and dark chocolate. It's dry with med+ acidity, high fine and sweet tannins the alcohol is high and it's full bodied. Medium+ flavors of dark chocolate raspberries, cranberries and vainilla. It has a slightly dry texture and the finish is medium +. Very good bordering on outstanding a solid wine for the price. You can drink and has potential to age another 10 years, due to its balance between fruit and tannins that give it the stuff for aging. #rioja #artadi — 8 years ago

A great example of the Rioja style wines. It has a semi-floral nose, a deep, rich body, and the classic smooth and spicy finish we love about Tempranillo wine. — 10 years ago
