This 2015 Crianza shows muscle and depth, is deeply colored and packs firm tannins that will carry it nicely for another couple of decades. Richly layered, showing notes of blackberry and cassis, with hints of mocha and spice. The tannins, though firm, are beautifully integrated, making the wine enjoyable now, though another five to seven years in the cellar would be highly recommended.
