Rioja Vega Crianza 2003

points - Spain: Great Vintages, Great Values
"The 2003 Crianza is medium ruby-colored with an expressive nose of cedar, cinnamon, red currants, and black raspberry. This is followed by a supple-textured, ripe, medium-bodied wine with no hard edges (atypical for a 2003 Rioja). Drink this nicely balanced, fruit-driven Rioja over the next 6 years."
