2021 | Artadi La Morera de San Lázaro | Álava Hakkaisan A captivating blend of exoticA first bottle of the 2021 San Lzaro 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.
