The 2005 Crianza displays more obvious oak. Toasty, minerals, Asian spices, violets, and black raspberry aromas inform the nose of a round, mouth-filling, savory wine displaying both intensity and finesse. It will benefit from another 1-2 years of bottle age and will provide enjoyment through 2020. The Tilenus wines are produced by Bodegas Estefania.

Mature, soft, old-wine aromas of tobacco and vanilla, spice and red berries. Soft tannins, elegant. Good wine.
