Producer |
RAMIREZ DE LA PISCINA |
| This attractive 100% Temprnaillo has a youthful deep purple colour. The nose has just the right amount of complexity with some gently cedary notes complementing the blueberry-cassis-plum fruit. Dry, medium bodied plus, nicely structured with intense, bright fruit flavours that persist on the slightly earthy, cedar-leather-tinged finish. It would be great with roast suckling pig and/or a rib steak. Aged in American and French oak for 15 months, it has 14.5% alcohol and under 2 g/L residual sugar. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: The 2019 Crianza is 100% Tempranillo sourced from San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Ábalos, Rioja Alta. Aged for 14 months in used American and French barrels (50/50), this purple wine showcases aromas of blackberry and blueberry, with hints of vanilla and coconut against an oak backdrop. Dry and juicy, the grippy palate lingers with a chalky texture, presenting a balanced expression of Rioja. Drinking window: 2024-2034. Score - 91 (Joaquín Hidalgo, vinous.com, April 18, 2024) |
