Luzón Selección 12 Meses Crianza 2013

(fermented in stainless steel tanks, followed by a year of aging in new French and American oak barrels) Inky ruby. Dark berries, incense, vanilla and sexy oak spices on the pungent, expansive nose. Smooth and open-knit, offering intense blackberry, cherry and mocha flavors sharpened by a jolt of juicy acidity. Finishes on an appealingly sweet note, with strong persistence and a delicate dusting of tannins adding shape and gentle grip. Drinking window: 2018-2023. Score - 91.
