TASTING NOTE: There is a new Tempranillo, the 2012 Lecco Crianza that has brighter fruit and a more jovial character than the Vendimia Seleccionada, but feels quite similar to the regular Crianza. It's surprisingly fresh, youthful and aromatic for a 2012. The palate follows the house style of sleek, polished tannins and good balance, with elegance. Drink Date: 2017-2021.
