Powerful, complex and silky smooth…classic old style Rioja at a bargain price.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tPairs well with aged cheeses and grilled meats.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\"The 2009 Crianza is even more interesting. A classic Rioja with lots of toasty oak intermixed with some white chocolate, black currant and cherry fruit, the vanillin from the barrels is part of the cedary, sweet perfume and fleshy flavor this wine imparts. A blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano, it is deep ruby-colored and medium to full-bodied, with a very supple texture. It is obviously made to be consumed over the next 2-4 years.\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t-\u003cu\u003eWine Advocate (Issue 201, June 2012)\u003c\/u\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e88 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\"(90% tempranillo and 10% graciano, raised in American oak): Deep ruby. Cherry-vanilla and oak spices on the nose, with a suave floral overtone. Ripe, lush and broad, offering sweet dark berry flavors and a smoky nuance. The vanillin oak comes on strong on the finish, which is spicy, pliant and persistent. I like the energy of this youthful wine fruit but the oak is slightly assertive right now.\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e- \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cu\u003eStephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (September 2012)\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e, 88+ pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Burgo Viejo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948740735023,"sku":"S0EE229011TPM","price":8.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/burgo-viejo-rioja-crianza-2009","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
