Vina Izadi Crianza Magnum 150cl 2018

100% Tempranillo. 

Vina Izadi Crianza is een topwijn uit Rioja

Deze Crianza onderging 6 maanden rijping op Amerikaans eiken. De wat minder lange houtrijping van deze moderne Izadi Crianza past waarschijnlijk beter bij het huidige smaakpatroon van de gemiddelde wijnkenner dan de de langer op hout gelagerde Reserva's, die daardoor meer "ouderwets" aandoet. 

Mooie aroma's van rijp zwart fruit, kruiden, cacao en eikenhout. Verder heeft de wijn een lange en aangename afdronk.

Goede combinatie met rood vlees, pasta's, paella, paté, harde kazen en jamon. De optimale drinktemperatuur is 16°C.

Drink Date: 2020-2024

The Wine Advocate:

"The balsamic and modern 2018 Crianza still has plenty of tannins and oak-related flavors, ripe and showy, very much in the house style, even within their more "classical" lines. It contains small percentages of Garnacha and Graciano and fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in 50/50 French and American barrels for one year. It needs food. They produced 750,000 bottles of this, the largest production in the portfolio by far.

Izadi is one of the bastions of modern Rioja, and its wines are slowly showing less oak and more freshness. The producer has an impressive 221 hectares of vineyards and fills close to one million bottles. This time, Izadi presents a surprising new red, a varietal Garnacha from Tudelilla, which is quite different from the rest of the portfolio. I think the wines have better integration of the oak than ever before. Bravo!"
