Artadi Pagos Viejos Rioja 1998
Rioja Alavesa, Rioja, SpainSpicy, black peppery, cherry licorice, leather, clove, garrigue and chocolate aromas with some cigar, resin and barnyard notes. Rich, ripe, moderately grainy, tannic entry. Big chocolate, prune, peppery, gamey, garrigue, licorice flavours with a tobacco, orange peel finish. Surprisingly youthful and tannic even at this point and will probably need another three to five years of bottle age.Tasted: 14 November 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $165.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Liquid Art Fine Wines |
