1986 Crianza returned for leaking cork in 1989. Good test of cellar. Low shoulder, cork barely attached to glass. Wine retained firm structure and was thoroughly enjoyable despite a bit of oxidation on the nose. Rating for pure audacity.

The wine starts with a fantastic nose with some vanilla, earth, licorice, blackfruit and chocolate (93+)
In the mouth blackberries and some spices. Also a bit tight not giving what the nose promised. (88) At the end a little short. Overall a nice wine! 90p

Spanish Crianza similar to a Napa cab.

One of my favorites. This one is drinking perfectly. Yes I like this better than some Bordeaux worth 10x
