Consumed over two nights (first night it was a second bottle opened). What I look for in a crianza Rioja or similar: Approachable, not over the top, food friendly, not overtly oaked. This delivers. One night as a follow on when consuming pollo asado, bbq jackfruit, etc, the next night with raviolis with mushroom, sundried tomatoes, etc. Flexible weeknight wine. Very fair price.

At Pau Casals VIP Lounge, at Barcelona Airport. Medium to dark ruby in colour. Typical Rioja Crianza profile of red fruit, cherry, coffee, spices, clove and vanilla, with medium-level acidity and tannin and good length. Medium-bodied, with average concentration. Well-made, and very good value. Drink young.

With some spice and elegance on the nose. Taste just a shade old school with with a touch more concentration on the palate. But still traditional.

Really delicious. Complex and interesting without overwhelming the food. Would love to find some more of this. Delicious and well priced.
