Crianza

2002 Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo

Diez Llorente Crianza is a captivating red wine from the famed Ribera del Duero region, showcasing the quintessential qualities of the Tempranillo varietal. This 2002 vintage presents a lovely combination of rich fruit flavors, underscored by subtle notes of oak derived from its aging. With a medium body, it offers a delightful mouthfeel that balances well with its pronounced acidity, creating a refreshing experience. The tannins are notable yet smooth, providing structure without overwhelming the palate. This wine is undeniably dry, allowing the prominent fruit intensity of dark cherries and plums to shine through, accompanied by hints of vanilla and spice that make each sip a pleasure. Enjoy this exceptional wine with grilled meats or aged cheeses for a truly memorable pairing.
