Grandes Anades 2001 Artadi

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (98)

The prodigious, inky/purple-colored 2001 Grandes Anadas marries elegance with tremendous power and flavor intensity. It represents Spain’s version of Comte de Vogue’s Musigny ... in a top vintage. Aromas of spice box, violets, raspberries, blackberries, plums, cherries, and an undeniable minerality are found in this structured, ripe, phenomenally intense red. The finish exceeds one minute, yet it gives the impression that it is not close to being mature. While it offers plenty of enjoyment now, ideally it should be given 3-4 years of cellaring and consumed over the following two decades.

Very, very sweet and intense. Very attention-grabbing, though with very marked, pinching tannins on the palate. This needs a lot of time. Lots of alcohol on the finish, but long.
