Tasting Notes
From the Valdizarbe, old vines at an altitude of around 600 metres on lean soil over limestone. Black cherry confit and nougat, Kaba, dense on the palate, gripping with fine tannins, defensive acidity, which nevertheless carries, clear mineral tones, but also the radiant fruit typical of Artadi, precise and fresh and seamlessly covering its body volume with extract. Lots of chalk on the palate, and finally a slight chocolate sweetness from the ripe Garnacha.
