El Pison is Artadi`s flagship, a two-hectare plot of Tempranillo planted in 1945 on limestone and clay soils in Rioja Alavesa, often ranked alongside Spain`s finest crus. The 2012 offers a deep garnet colour and an expressive nose of black cherry, dried herbs and cedar from ageing in French oak. The palate is rich yet precise, with ripe tannins, good acidity and real depth of fruit through a long finish. Built to age, it will reward cellaring for another decade or three. Pair with roast lamb or aged hard cheese.

Vinous
Glass-staining ruby. Heady, exotically perfumed bouquet evokes ripe cherry and red berries, along with suggestions of incense, potpourri and woodsmoke. Deeply concentrated raspberry and cherry-cola flavors are complemented by floral pastille and spicecake nuances. Completely stains the palate and shows superb energy on a long, sappy finish that features velvety tannins and an echo of candied flowers.Josh Raynolds1st November 2015
