"Light plums, cherries and some wet stones on the nose. A little simple and light on the palate, but well balanced with soft tannins and a subtle, medium-length finish. Tempranillo and garnacha. Drink now." (James Suckling 2022). Aged in oak for over a year, this Crianza is still in its youth, but can already be enjoyed to the full!
