Description
This Crianza is produced from 40-year-old vines grown on the slopes of the Sierra Yergas, just south of the River Ebro in Rioja Baja. After a long maceration it splits its 12 months vacation before bottling in new and used oak of which 60% is American and 40% French.
The nose is well balanced with aromas of black cherry, spice, and toasty oak. The palate has brighter, intense tangy black cherry and red cherry fruit, with fresh acidity, a silky mouth feel, soft ripe tannins, with a lingering finish.
