El Carretil is one of Artadi`s single-vineyard Tempranillo wines, grown on limestone-rich slopes in Rioja Alavesa and made with the same painstaking, low-intervention approach the estate applies to its flagship El Pison. The 2012 shows a deep, bright robe and a nose of ripe dark cherry, violet and liquorice. The palate is concentrated yet fresh, with fine, statuesque tannins, a mineral tang and well-judged oak (12 months in new French barrels) framing the fruit. Long, persistent finish. Drink now to 2032, ideally with slow-cooked lamb or a mature Manchego.

Vinous
Opaque ruby. Vibrant smoke- and mineral-tinged black raspberry, cherry-cola, Indian spice and vanilla scents show wonderful clarity and lift. Intense red and dark berry preserve flavors reach every corner of the palate, picking up a sexy floral note with aeration. Rich yet vibrant Rioja with outstanding finishing thrust, great persistence and smooth tannins that build slowly and harmoniously.Josh Raynolds1st November 2015
