2013 opened June 2021 I’m surprised that most of the reviews of this wine are on the mediocre side. Of course, it’s a crianza so it doesn’t have that oaky astringency that the reservas have. Pomegranate and olives on the nose. Pomegranate on the front. Smooth tannic structure that’s a little heavier than most Riojas I’ve encountered. Mineral finish. This is by no means a complex wine, but it’s simplicity makes it honest and enjoyable.

Nice Tempranillo, a little more fruit-forward and not quite as full-bodied as I typically like. Had it with Chinese food.

Came recommended by a trusted restaurateur to accompany some rich and delectable plates. Smooth and so sippable. Temeranillo goodness.
