97 -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -

Spectacular is the limited production 1996 Vina El Pison. Fashioned from a vineyard planted in 1931 on pure limestone, this wine is outrageously rich, complex, and profound. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of sweet black fruits, vanillin, flowers, and minerals. There are layers of fruit, great flavor extraction, unbelievable finesse, complexity, and elegance. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. Full-bodied and super-concentrated, this compelling Rioja will be at its peak between 2002-2025. Sadly, only 300 six packs were exported to the United States, but it is well-worth seeking out.

About The Producer

Founded in Spain’s Rioja region in 1985, Artadi began as a cooperative of independent vineyard owners committed to expressing the purity of their estate plots. Over the years, the winery has become a benchmark for single-vineyard Rioja, emphasizing old-vine Tempranillo, low yields, and minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar. Artadi wines are known for their elegance, structure, and precise reflection of terroir, making them among the most respected expressions of modern Rioja.
