2004 Artadi Viña El Pison - Rioja - 1 Bottle (0.75L)

1 bottle: Alto Moncayo 2009 100/100 Robert Parker: The 2004 Vina El Pison is purple/black in color with an ethereal bouquet found only in the greatest wines. Vanilla, spice box, truffle, wild blueberry, black raspberry, and blackberry liqueur are descriptors that come to mind but which cannot really convey the other-worldy nature of this perfume. On the palate, it is opulent, beautifully delineated, elegant and powerful all at the same time. Impeccably balanced and amazingly long, this wine is a pleasure to drink now but will still be providing pleasure 40-50 years from now (with good storage) . Kudos to Bodegas Artadi for this tour de force! The 2004 El Pison stands out from its peers. It has a deeper color than the 2007 with a splendid nose that jumps from the glass. Notes of espresso, balsamic, Asian spices, pain grille, mineral, and black cherry lead to a velvety, mouth-filling, deep wine that effortlessly combines elegance with power. It simply does not get any better. Stored under perfet conditions! Shipping assured! Caution: private sale! No warranty, no exchange, no taking back!
