Sierra Cantabria Rioja Crianza

2015 - The 2015 Crianza checks in as 100% Tempranillo that spent 14 months in used French and American oak as well as being held a year in bottle. It has more serious notes of blackcurrants, scorched earth, lead pencil, and spice box. Rich, medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, and elegant on the palate, it's a rock-solid, outstanding bottle of wine that has character as well as quality. Drink it over the coming 15+ years.--91pts Jeb Dunnick
