From a challenging vintage, the 2002 Crianza (100% Tempranillo aged 14 months in used American and French oak, and bottled unfiltered) exhibits a complex nose of roasted herbs, sweet cherries, earth, and vanilla. Medium-bodied, with attractively sweet fruit, decent acidity, and silky tannin, it can be enjoyed over the next 2-3 years.

Cherry, vanilla and cigar box flavors mingle in this supple red. The palate is fresh, the finish spicy. Drink now. 3,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add
