R. LOPEZ DE HEREDIA Rioja Tinto Crianza 'Vina Cubillo' 2017/18 Bottle

Description

The R. López de Heredia 'Viña Cubillo' Crianza is a masterclass in traditional Rioja, offering remarkable value and age-worthiness. Displaying a bright ruby hue with a hint of garnet, the nose offers an intoxicating bouquet of wild strawberry, dried cherry, and crushed rose petals, layered with classic notes of tobacco, worn leather, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is beautifully elegant and medium-bodied, driven by vibrant acidity and polished, chalky tannins. Savoury earthy undertones perfectly balance the pure red fruit, leading to a long, refined, and mouth-watering finish. Awarded 93 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this exceptional blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano is drinking beautifully now but will gracefully evolve for another decade.
