90 Points, Wine & Spirits - Best Buy. Fragrant with violets and black cherry fruit, this takes time to move beyond its clean lines toward something more emphatically earthy. Air brings a stoniness to the structure, while the wine seems blacker, with the assertive precision of a flamenco dancer's heel.
Tasting Notes
Intense ruby color. Expressive bouquet with notes of raspberries, bilberries and cherries, enlivened by a touch of spice and a depth of vanilla. Charming fruit in the mouth with good structure that highlights concentrated flavors and fleshy tannins. Nice complexity on the tasting resulting in good length. This Crianza is made from our best "cuvees" from the 2008 vintage and conserves in full the character derived from top quality grapes.
Food Pairings
A perfect accopaniment to Mediterranean cuisine, fried food, grilled vegtables, pulses, pallea and other rice dishes, pasta fish in tomato sauce, ham, chorizo, pate, beef(roast stewed or grilled) and cheese(mild or medium matured). |
