Pagos Viejos 2008 Artadi

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (95)

The 2008 Pagos de Viejas was selected from three of the estate’s finest and most elevated sites with all of the vines over 75 years of age. The wine was aged for 18 months in new French oak. Deeply colored, it offers up a superb nose of pain grille, pencil lead, Asian spices, incense, and assorted black fruits. Rich, layered, and beautifully proportioned, this lengthy effort will evolve for 5-7 years and offer a drinking window extending from 2016 to 2028+.

Falstaff (95)

Intense carmine garnet, dark core, subtle ochre rim. Fine precious wood spice, tobacco and velvet, attractive black berry fruit, ripe plums, a hint of licorice and cardamom. Complex and full-bodied, with sweet fruit extract on the palate, an elegant texture, well-integrated vanilla-like wood spice, mineral and persistent, a perfectly aged food companion with further potential.
