It has a pretty bouquet of blueberry jam and raspberry that is well-defined. The palate is well-balanced, with a smooth, silky texture, crisp acidity and a citrus, fresh, primal finish. It is a little compact at the moment but should repay a couple of years in bottle.

They farm over 80 hectares of disconnected parcels of vine of which over half are in excess of 30 years old, augmented by another 90 hectares from contracted growers. The three wines I tasted were all excellent in quality – clean, very well-balanced, well-crafted, and fruit-laden without depriving them of personality and typicity\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e.\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eRobert Parker's The Wine Adovcate #206 90 Points\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sobreno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948748795951,"sku":"S0EE322013TPM","price":11.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/Sobreno_20crianza.jpg?v=1771483181","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/finca-sobreno-crianza-toro-2009","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
