Bodegas Artadi Pagos Viejos 2005, crafted in Spain’s Rioja, is a pure Tempranillo from old vines in the estate’s limestone and clay terroir. The bouquet unveils evolved blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, with notes of spice, graphite, and subtle oak, accented by hints of minerality. The palate is full-bodied and opulent, with velvety tannins and balanced acidity supporting the mature fruit. Aged in French oak, this wine delivers a refined, lingering finish with notable aging potential. Perfect for pairing with roasted beef, game, or aged cheeses, it reflects Artadi’s modern winemaking, offering a sophisticated experience for Rioja enthusiasts seeking a robust red. Its richness and complexity make it a standout from the 2005 vintage, embodying Rioja Alavesa’s iconic terroir.
