Real de Asúa Crianza Tempranillo Blend

9.0

100% Tempranillo crafted by Asúa Winery located in the town of Haro, La Rioja, Spain, an area known for its unique clay soils rich in calcium and iron. This particular winery focuses on small batch production runs to ensure each bottle receives the care and attention in the vineyards and the cellar.
The wine is aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, it has an amazing purple in hue. On the nose has some decent reductive aromas featuring plums and blackberry with a noticeable oaky layer. On the mouth the supple tannins and juicy on the fruit-forward complements the elongated finish.
A wine style that never disappoints and give you a tremendous run for the money! — 2 days ago

Ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing cherries, raspberries, spices, light oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

Rich and powerful. Balanced and easy drinking.

I've had this wine a few times before and it is very consistent.

Still young and needs at least 5 years in the bottle to mature.
