This is a Crianza, meaning it has spent less time in wood than a Reserva or Gran Reserva. This allows for a wine where you don’t have that domineering oak presence overshadowing everything. What you get instead is blackberries and black plum, complimented by mint like herbal aromas and cinnamon spice. The trade off of this unique flavour is that the tannins are not mellow. Gritty and grippy, prepare yourself for this, or better yet, prepare a big cut of red meat to give those tannins something to grab onto other than your tongue.
