Crianza 2002
Grape Variety: Tempranillo 100%
Alcohol Content: 13% Vol.
Ageing: Eighteen months in new American oak barrels
and 6 months in the bottle.
Sight: Attractive ripe cherry colour with garnet
and violet coloured glints. Clean aspect.
Nose: Bouquet distinguished by sharp fruity aromas
wrapped around by impeccable oak aromas that provide hints of spices. There
is a background of scrubland and rockrose as well as toasted whiffs that give
this wine elegance.
Taste: Smooth upon entry to the mouth. Very fruity,
lush, strong and balanced tastes as it slips through the mouth. This is a
tasty red wine that leads into a long-lasting retronasal effect.
Accompanying Dishes and How to Serve: Should
be drunk at around 16-17º centigrade. It is accompanied well by grilled
red meat, stewed red meat, farmyard poultry roasts and magnificent semi-cured
cheeses such as Manchego, Idiazábal, Roncal or Castellano.
