Made from 100% Mencia (from 100-year old vineyards), the 2000 Crianza was aged 12 months in French oak. Its dense black/ruby color is accompanied by a sweet perfume of minerals, flowers, blackberries, and cherries. Elegant, remarkably well-delineated, and medium-bodied, it is measured but extremely stylish ... like a high-strung fashion model. Consume it over the next 5-7 years.
