Burgo Viejo Crianza 2018

I find balance, seriousness and some restraint in the 2018 Crianza. It has moderate alcohol and contained ripeness, integrated oak and a polished palate with fruit and spice flavors that make it quite recognizable as Rioja. It has some tannins that would welcome food and/or a little bit more time in bottle. It’s 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano matured in American oak barrels for one year. Drink date: 2021-2024. Score – 90. (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, Oct. 30, 2020)
