Crianza Magnum 2018

In the glass, this Tempranillo presents itself in a deep, dense cherry red with a violet rim – almost like liquid velvet with a hint of ink. The color already promises what the wine delivers in character: dark depth, power, and substance with a subtly seductive sheen.

The nose is a wild ride through dark aromatic worlds: blackberry, blackcurrant, and ripe cherry are prominent. These are joined by sweet and spicy notes of licorice, roasted cocoa, mocha, and a hint of vanilla – like a box of chocolates with Spanish temperament.

In the mouth, the wine is powerful yet not ostentatious. Juicy fruit meets finely polished tannins that spread across the tongue like cashmere. Wood and fruit interlock like cogs in a luxury watch – dry, full-bodied, with a long, slightly salty finish.

The vines are rooted in the calcareous clay soil by the Duero River – a golden zone for Tempranillo. Maturation in barrique barrels brings balance and structure: 15 months in French and American oak. The result: a wine with character, depth, and a perfect wood-fruit balance.
