2001 Pago del Encinar Lacrimus Rioja Crianza

[dananne]

Blend of 85% Tempranillo and 15% Graciano.

Deep purple in the glass, and very simple grapey flavors laced with oak. Not much here, and it was disappointing. Didn't improve with decanting. Overpaid at $19 at a local gourmet/specialty store here in Atlanta. Alc. 13.5% Obviously will not look for it again, especially as there are so many better Crianzas coming out of Rioja at or far below this price point (Artadi, LAN, etc.).
