R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Cubillo Rioja Crianza 2018

70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacho, 5% Graciano, 5% Mazuelo

The 2016 Viña Cubillo Tinto Crianza was surprising, spectacular, elegant, clean and fresh like few vintages before. It was a superb year, with quality, quantity and freshness.  Savory berries with aromas of white pepper, blood orange peel, preserved plums, iron and a touch of dust. Still pretty structured and intense, with a medium to full body, but juicy and long.  13.5%
