Lealtanza Crianza 2016

12 months in French casks, 15% new barrels and the rest in its second or third use. 

Intense, deep ruby red with garnet highlights. Sweet red fruit (strawberry, cherry) and liquorice aromas blend harmonically with the smoky, “grilled bread”, balsamic notes characteristic of good French oak; there is just a slight hint of earthy, mineral back notes. Crisp, round and supple, with a good acidity and a long aftertaste. Nicely balanced. 

Tapas, stews, red meats and mature cheeses (Manchego). Suggestions: patatas bravas; cassoulet; beef Wellington.
