POINTS
“Restrained and ambitiously structured, showing some roasted coffee beans, pine cones and sweet spices to the rich blackberries and cherries. Juicy and chewy on the palate with fine-grained tannins and a tight, lengthy finish.”

POINTS
“Plummy fruit on the nose, with smoky bacon fat nuances and jammy fruit notes. Powerful and textural, long and pleasant.”
Decanter

POINTS
The 2021 Crianza was aged for 12 months in barrels—10 months in French oak and two in American. Its finesse adds nuance to a wine of moderate structure. Aromas of plum and cherry unfold over a backdrop of herbs and oak. The palate is somewhat compact, with slight dryness and a woody flavor. Tannins are slightly tight.
