Gomez Cruzado Gomez Cruzado Crianza 2021 750ml

I love the harmony, elegance and character of the 2021 Crianza, a modern rendition of the classical wines through a blend of 75% Tempranillo and the rest Garnacha. It is fresh and quite fruit-driven, with some floral and spicy notes, but the toast and spiciness is in the background, integrated and subtle. It has ripeness, power and elegance and drinks nicely already, but it should also last. This is very tasty. It matured in French (85%) and American oak barrels for one year. 150,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2024.

Lots of fruit with some spiced berries, tamarind and plums. Touches of white pepper and spices on the palate. Fluid and firm, with a medium body and a well-spiced finish. 75% tempranillo and 25% garnacha. Drink now.
