This consignor, located in Alberta, became interested in wine and port over 20yrs ago as he was getting into the cigar business. He was fascinated by the similarities between cigars and wine such as terroir, blending and aging. He began to buy wine for cigar pairing events which led him to collecting. He had assistance from a friend who could not drink but had a keen interest in vintage port. All bottles were purchased at retail wine shops around Edmonton. A large portion came from DeVine Wines and Spirits. He stored the collection in a walk-in humidor in the basement of his cigar shop. The temperature and humidity were controlled by greenhouse monitors.
The score for 2004 Artadi Vina El Pison Rioja DOCa is 100 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2004 El Pison stands out from its peers. It has a deeper color than the 2007 with a splendid nose that jumps from the glass. Notes of espresso, balsamic, Asian spices, pain grille, mineral, and black cherry lead to a velvety, mouth-filling, deep wine that effortlessly combines elegance with power. It should easily drink well for another 30-40 years. It simply does not get any better. No visit to Rioja would be complete without a visit to Artadi and maestro Juan Carlos Lopez de Lacalle. Artadi’s most recent releases are the 2007s which were reviewed in Issue 183. On this occasion, we sampled the promising 2009s from barrel in addition to the 4 vintages of the flagship Vina El Pison (all of which have been previously reviewed, the 1995 and 1998 by Robert Parker). The El Pison comes from a single Tempranillo vineyard planted in 1945 on pure limestone.
