Anciano Crianza Tempranillo

A Spanish Tempranillo from Valdepeñas, a traditional region in central Spain. Crianza means at least 24 months of aging, 6 of them in oak — which shows in aromas of vanilla, coconut and tobacco. Ruby color with an orange rim (a sign of age), aromas of ripe cherry, a woody base and a trace of leather. Round on the palate, integrated tannins, acidity still alive, a long finish. Serve between 16°C and 18°C — a wine with more age than most in this price range.
