The 2011 Crianza is 100% Tempranillo from 30- to 37-year-old vineyards which fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in barrel for one year. It is quite balsamic, with notes of aromatic herbs and shoe polish intermixed with an assortment of red and black fruits. The palate is medium-bodied with abundant flavors of licorice, fine-grained tannins and some freshness, in a vegetal way. 83,000 bottles were produced. Drink now-2016. I hear about a generational replacement and a change of winemaker at La Legua, one of the classical names in Cigales. Are the winds of change blowing? We’ll see in the following years. No known American importer.
