91 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2007 El Arte de Vivir is also 100% Tempranillo sourced from 60- to 80-year-old vines. It was aged for six months in French and American oak. It s more substantial and structured than the Vivir, vivir cuvee with layers of fleshy fruit, excellent concentration, and 1-2 years of aging potential. The finish is lengthy and sweet. Drink this pleasure-bent wine over the next six years. These two wines from Bodegas J.C. Conde are sensational values from Ribera del Duero." (02/09) Produced from older vines and aged for six months in a combination of French and American oak, this wine ramps up the concentration, spice and intensity of flavor. Though the "Arte de Vivir" promises a strong future for short-term cellaring, it's drinking terrifically now - I would not hesitate to crack this open with a juicy grilled burger.
