2004 Artadi Viñas de Gain - this Rioja showed still fairly deep colour, a nose of red fruit and light cedar-tobacco (reminded me a bit of a Cuban cigar rolled in a cedar shaving). A hint of blackberry in the finish. Still drinking well although I have seen several reviews that felt it was showing age - probably the result of warmer cellaring?
I owned some Artadis OUAT. As I recall they were quite oaky, and it takes a lot of oak to make me think that because I'm not as sensitive to it as others. Am I thinking of the right producer?
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov
