Artadi Vina El Pison 2023 Rhone cassis and violet

cassis and violet

complete destemming and élevage without any new oak—is faithfully respected

Discreet but not invisible wood sets off distinctly earthy aromas of plum

then shows a complex and broad mid-palate with good balance of depth and weight

96-98+ points The Wine Advocate

Artadi Vina El Pison 2023 Rhone cassis and violet98+ Points The Wine Advocate, Luis Gutirrez The bottled 2023 Via El Pisn is aromatic and elegant, but the real difference is the depth on the palate. Carlos Lpez de Lacalle told me that he thinks "the 2023 wines are elegant, fluid, with engaging and fresh ripe fruit, wines that want to feel their origin." It pretty much encapsulates what the 2023s are about: ripe fruit and aromatic noses, with super fine palates. It has freshness and superb balance.
