  Prior experience was very positive with this crianza. See my note of 2/24/2013. But not the case today. Nose of vinegar and wet towel. Sour in the mouth. Let it sit for a half hour, no improvement. Let it sit overnight, no improvement. Down the drain.

  A 15 year old crianza!? This is a match to most reservas, beautifully mature, still some cherry fruit, and a bit of spicy tobacco. Doubt it will improve from here, but what's not to like?

  Interesting! Rustic but complex.

  Not much experience on these, but this was lean and rustic and kept giving. Everything tasted better with it. Really looking forward to the higher end reservas. Don’t think it will improve with more time.
