The 2010 Old Vines Crianza spends six months in mainly used American oak. It has a clean, fresh, dark plum and black cherry-scented bouquet that is well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent, charcoal-tinged tannins. It is well-balanced with plenty of fruit and a pleasing, succulent dark cherry and blueberry finish. This is a well crafted Valdepenas. Drink now-2014.
