The textbook 2019 Crianza mixes notes of ripe berries and sweet spices, and it's modern, clean, ripe and generously oaked but with no excess and with good balance. It's medium-bodied and has fine-grained tannins and integrated oak after it spent one year in French barriques. A very fine Crianza. 180,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022.

The terrible frosts of the spring of 2017 meant they could not produce the Crianza from that year (and the 2016 is sold out), so I could only sample an unbottled 2018 Crianza, something I'm always reluctant to do because you never know how the sample is going to be when you receive it. Anyway, 2018 produced fresh and somewhat herbal wines that are easy to drink, and this sample seemed sound; it felt quite resistant to oxidation, robust and nicely built, with a character of orange peel that made me think of the Ribera wines from the early 1990s. It's elegant and balanced, with neatly integrated oak. Very promising... This should age 13 months in French oak barrels and will deliver 130,000+ bottles.

The reliable and classical 2015 Crianza feels balanced with good ripeness and round tannins. It finishes dry and with a little more tannin than I expected. 130,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2017.

This lean, fresh red is harmonious, with light smoky and gamy notes framing black cherry and plum fruit, supported by fine, firm tannins and crisp acidity. Drink now through 2022. 10,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Ribera del Duero Select to Add

The faintly reductive 2014 Crianza needed some time to start expressing that combination of flowers, herbs and berry fruit, with the nicely integrated oak it has. The palate is sleek and elegant, quite silky, medium-bodied with very fine tannins, a soft texture and good acidity. This is a great Crianza. 120,000 bottles produced.
