Robert Parker (97)

The 1995 El Pison is beginning to reveal a bit of age in its appearance. Earth, minerals, tobacco, smoke, balsamic, and black cherry lead to a succulent, concentrated, persistent wine with great depth and concentration. Long and seamless in the finish, it has at least 20 more years of prime drinking ahead.

No visit to Rioja would be complete without a visit to Artadi and maestro Juan Carlos Lopez de Lacalle. Artadi’s most recent releases are the 2007s which were reviewed in Issue 183. On this occasion, we sampled the promising 2009s from barrel in addition to the 4 vintages of the flagship Vina El Pison (all of which have been previously reviewed, the 1995 and 1998 by Robert Parker). The El Pison comes from a single Tempranillo vineyard planted in 1945 on pure limestone.

Alluring flavors of raspberry jam and milk chocolate give this red a velvety appeal. Sweet and beautifully textured, with ripe fruit and lavish oak, though a bit short on the finish.
