點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：3418

The 2011 Edulis Crianza is fresh and clean, with blueberry and ripe plum aromas, well-integrated oak which gives some spicy overtones. The palate is juicy and ripe, with round tannins, pleasant and easy to drink. Drink 2014-2016. Lealtanza was created in 1998 and the first wines reached the market in 2002. These are modern wines produced with very ripe fruit. Imported by The Artisan Collection - Quality Wines From Spain, Brooklyn, NY; tel. (718) 596-0722; www.theartisancollection.us

Opens with tinny, clacky aromas that fail to convey clarity. With time it improves, but even then the palate has a grating, choppy feel in support of funky, brambly berry flavors. Finishes hot and oaky, with chippy tartness.——M.S.(7/1/2011)—— 83

A reasonably good bargain in Rioja, the 100% Tempranillo cuvee, the 2001 Edulis Rioja Crianza, spent 12 months in oak. It reveals a dark plum/garnet color as well as a spicy, earthy, sweet currant, dried herb, and tobacco leaf-scented bouquet. Drink this tasty, elegant, medium-bodied Rioja over the next 2-3 years.
