Rioja Gorrebusto Crianza 2016, Torre San Millan
Tasting notes
Bright deep red colour with ruby hints. Spicy, rich, plums, cassis, red fruits with hint of vanilla. On the palate: ripe, rich plummy with hint of spices; vanilla and lots of rich, creamy fruit. Very fine and full with a full, fruity finish and good complexity and freshness. A Rioja which combines modern with traditional in a lovely refined manner. (D.H., 2009 vintage)

Expert's View
“There’s really nice freshness and minerality to the Riojas at Torre San Millan - much more freshness and zip and zing. There’s nice mid to full colour, very precise and complex red and black fruit, and that minerality and acidity on the finish.” ~ Clear Wine Co's Wine Expert
