The serious, unfiltered 2000 Tintoralba Crianza spent 12 months in new French oak. A strong effort, its deep ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of vanilla, kirsch, currants, and smoke, a textured, layered mouthfeel, a savory, ripe, full-bodied finish, and a long aftertaste. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. Importer: Aurelio Cabestrero, Grapes of Spain, Lorton, VA; tel. (703) 249-8028
