The T D’Anguix Crianza spent 12 months in American oak. It sports an inviting nose of Asian spices, incense, lavender, blackcurrant, and blackberry which sets the stage for an elegant, silky-textured, intense, beautifully proportioned wine with 2-3 years of aging potential. It over-delivers in a big way compared to the typical Crianza. It will offer prime drinking from 2013 to 2020. Importer: New Age Imports, Verona, NJ; www.newageimports.net

The 2004 T D’Anguix spent 12 months in American oak. Dark ruby-colored, it displays aromas of earth, mineral, violets, black cherry, and blackberry. On the palate it is has a solid core of fruit in a straightforward style. It will evolve for 1-2 years but lacks the vibrancy one might expect from the outstanding 2004 vintage.
