Rioja, El Pison, Reserva Speciale--Vintage 1995
Rioja, Artadi
In original wooden case
"I was tempted to give a perfect score to the 1995 El Pison Reserva Speciale, made from a single vineyard planted in 1920 on pure chalk and limestone soils. It is a wine of fabulous aromatic complexity, explosive richness and density, yet no sense of heaviness, with all the elements in perfect proportion. Opaque purple-colored, with layers of fruit, and an incredibly sweet mid-palate of black fruits intermixed with subtle new oak and spice, concentrated, and long, this is one of the greatest wines I have ever tasted from Spain. Anticipated maturity: now-2020." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 127, 2/28/00
