The 2009 Callejo Crianza is from 25-year-old organically cultivated vines aged in the same manner as the Roble over 12 months. It has round, velvety ripe dark plum and blueberry on the nose that displays good intensity. The palate is smooth and rounded with kirsch, licorice, spice and a touch of graphite, while the oak is deftly integrated on the opulent finish. Give this wine one or two years in bottle to let it blossom. Drink 2014-2020.
