Score 97/100 · Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, Feb 2024

A first bottle of the 2021 San Lázaro felt austere, serious and a little closed, but a second one was a lot more expressive and elegant but not quite reaching the expressiveness of the 2021 El Carretil that today stole the show. This is subtle, delicate and svelte, a wine of finesse (but never without power), harmonious and complete. 4,000 bottles were filled in May 2023.

Renowned for its commitment to crafting terroir-driven wines with precision, Artadi's 2021 San Lázaro exemplifies this dedication. This 100% Tempranillo hails from a vineyard planted in 1956 in Laguardia, Rioja Alavesa on sandy-silt soils. Purple-red in hue, it offers precise aromas of blackberry and blueberry, accompanied by intense notes of bay leaf and wild herb. On the palate, it is dry, silky and moderately rich, with fine-grained, polished tannins that impart a subtle sense of depth. Energetic and ample in the mouth, the 2021 represents a meticulously crafted modern expression of Rioja.
