Artadi El Carretil 2023 sweet wines where everything is well ordered95 97 Points The Wine Advocate, Luis Gutirrez The unbottled 2023 El Carretil was in stainless steel after having completed the first winter in demi muids and (part of) the second one in oak vat, where it should be until it's bottled. Despite a sensation of higher ripeness from the nose, it has very good finesse and a very chalky mouthfeel, textured, with grip and clout. It has lower alcohol, 14. 35% (and, apparently, the 2024 will be around 14%).
