Carramimbre Crianza
A fine example of wine from the Ribera del Duero, with a strong opening moving on to reveal sophistication and balance. The aroma captures the spicy tones of the American oak barrel (particularly vanilla) and the toasted quality of the wood. Balanced and flavourful on the palate. To be enjoyed now or over the next five years.
Appearance: Cherry red with ruby tones and violet highlights at the rim.
Aroma: Intense spicy notes (cinnamon, peppermint, spearmint) and touches of vanilla blend with tones of ripe fruit to produce a wine that is both clean and complex.
Taste: A strong opening characterized by the tannins paves the way for the wine’s mouth-filling quality. Generous and balanced, the finish is dominated by the spicy and red fruit flavours. Lingering.
