I have found Cristia to be very similar to Pignan/Rayas in the past owing to the old vines and essentially 100% Grenache. This is so young and extracted, it’s challenging to know what to make of this wine. Needs at least another decade to refine the phenolics. Quite ripe and raw at the moment. Judgement conditional.
