The 2008 Crianza was sourced from vines averaging 35 years of age and aged for 13 months in 50% new French oak. Dark ruby-colored, it emits a perfume of balsam wood, spice box, lavender, espresso, and blackberry. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate but in need of a bit more depth, it displays some elegance and good balance. Drink it from 2011 to 2018.
