Sweet and smoky - this young-ish Tempranillo (Crianza being younger upon release than Reserva) has red cherry and leather, hints of sweet spice, licorice and iodine with undertones of mocha. The acidity stands out - great for cutting through fatty dishes or cheeses - the fruit is bright and flavours echo the aromas.
Pair with rich meat dishes or aged Manchego.
