This Crianza is made from Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and has been aged for 12 months in new and one-year-old medium-toast French barrels. On the nose this wine is bursting with intense aromas of ripened cherries and plums with hints of vanilla and well-integrated oak. This is similar on the palate with subtle flavours of leather and liquorice in the background. The finish is long and elegant. This full bodied wine is ready to drink but will age well for a further three to five years.

*Highly Recommended* The polished texture carries complex yet harmonious flavours of plum, toast, liquorice and mineral in this elegant red. Spice and floral notes linger on the long, gentle finish. Very focused and fresh. Drink now through 2018. (3/2013)

The 2009 Crianza has a lovely, rounded dark plum and balsamic-tinged bouquet that unfurls with hints of wild heather and crushed violets. The palate is medium-bodied with orange peel, tart red cherries and a hint of dark chocolate, the finish nicely composed and showing impressive persistency and focus. Recommended. Drink now-2017. (2/2013)
Composed primarily of Tempranillo from Pedrosa de Duero (about 4 km from Roa), and then aged in all French oak barrels (1/3 new, 1/3 one year-old, 1/3 two year-old), this Ribera shows spicy dark cherry fruit aromas, leading to a fresh palate of black cherry fruit, with admirable intensity tempered by freshness as well as evident minerality. Juicy and forward, but serious enough to age in your cellar, if you choose to enjoy now then decant it and pair with a plateful of lamb chops!
