Lacrimus Rioja Crianza 2015 (Spain)

Description

"A delectably expressed tempranillo; it is wonderfully fruited and richly savoury at the same time showing dark fruit, charcuterie, mushroom, leather and toasted nut characters on the nose, leading to a generously flavoured palate that is beautifully weighted and silky. The wine is complex and engaging with a lingering spicy finish. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

The Lacrimus Crianza 2015 is an intense dark cherry-red with garnet hues. Very intense and complex on the nose with an initial waft of spicy, balsamic aromas - typical of the Graciano variety - against a background of ripe dark fruits. As the wine opens up, it reveals the aromas of Tempranillo; cherry liqueur with a touch of vanillin from barrel ageing. On the palate it is complete, round, full and with surprising silkiness and elegance.
