"Freshness and balance guaranteed

"The classic Crianza 2020 is a regional Garnacha from the historic area of Corella, Cintruénigo, Fitero and Lerga. It was made using the classic process of fermentation in stainless steel tanks with little extraction, and aged in 300-liter used casks for 13 months. The wine is fresh and fruity, with notes of licorice, varietal character, herbs and bay leaves. It is ripe and alcoholic (13.15%), and retains good freshness and balance." (Wine Advocate)

Note and review by M. MATHIEU W. Published on 14/08/2023

Lichte tot middeldiepe kersenrode kleur. Aan de neus rijp rood en donker fruit, wat tabak, bosaarde, kreupelhout en ook wat specerijen. In de mond rijp en sappig rood fruit, framboos, rode bessen, aardbei ook. Daarna kruidigheid en spicy. Mooie grip, prima volume, fijne zuren, bittertje op het einde. Best wel aanhoudende afdronk, krokant op het einde en iets filmend. Eenvoudige, maar krachtige en karaktervolle wijn. Prima PQR. Score: 15,5/20
