We have never shipped this wine before from Lagar de Isilla but were really impressed this vintage. The Tinta del País (Tempranillo) vines are around sixty years old and the resultant wine is very much at Crianza level in terms of quality, though only given nine months in smart French barrels, as opposed to the minimum of a year in the regulations for a Crianza. Intense black fruit - slightly heated - aromas. Youthful attack - this would benefit from double decanting to serve now - displaying a flamboyant blackcurrant and dark chocolate heart. Very smooth and not in the least over oaky; glossy wine, perfect for rich beef, venison and lamb dishes. Now-2024
