The 2009 Crianza in a blend of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha and Mazuelo aged for 12 months in used barrels plus six months in bottle. It has a ripe bouquet of fresh strawberry and red cherries that is competently enmeshed with the oak. The palate is fresh and lively with taut tannins. There are notes of dark cherry licorice and a touch of mocha with a finely-tuned delineated finish. There is a pleasing brightness to this Crianza that is approachable now and should age with style. Drink now-2019. - Neal Martin
