Vega Crianza Rioja, Spain, 2017
80% Tempranillo, 5% Mazuelo, 15% Garnacha with 12 months in American oak.
A bright wine. Complex array of aromas on the nose, with notes of red fruits and liquorice and subtle hints of toast, spices and cinnamon. Silky, pleasant and enveloping on the palate, long, balanced, with very good tannins.
Great with grilled red meats, veal and vegetables.
