The oak of the 2015 Carmelo Rodero Crianza feels quite integrated, and the wine is juicy and ripe, but without excess, in a modern classical style. The tannins are fine and the acidity lowish, and it could do with a little more freshness. It has 10% of Cabernet Sauvignon and matured in oak barrels for 15 months. 275,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2017.

Following the style of the 2012, the 2014 Carmelo Rodero Crianza contained 10% Cabernet Sauvignon to complement the majority of Tempranillo, which matured for 15 months in second use French oak barrels. It's quite floral, with a thin patina of sweet spices, fresh, with harmony and elegance. The palate revealed a silky and velvety texture, with juicy fruit, very fine tannins, good freshness and balance. Another superb Crianza. 199,059 bottles produced.

I was very impressed by the nose of the 2012 Crianza from Carmelo Rodero, which contains 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and matured for 15 months in French oak barrels. There are flowers, ripe red cherries, very fresh herbs and subtle spices in a harmonious, elegant way. The palate is very tasty, with pungent flavors and great persistence of flavors that bring back the notes found in the nose. A very showy, elegant and balanced Crianza. Bravo! 180,000 bottles produced.

This muscular version offers rich flavors of plum, fig pudding, dark chocolate and spice. Ripe and thick on the palate, with balsamic acidity and notes of clove and tobacco adding a savory element. Austere yet alluring. Drink now through 2021. 12,000 cases made, 150 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Ribera del Duero Select to Add
