The Crianza sits in the middle of the bodega's range: longer in oak than the 9 meses, shorter than the Reserva. Garnet, with balsamic, violet, cigar box and liquorice on the nose, plus spice and toast from the barriques. Fresh and dense on the palate without being heavy, with liquorice on the finish.
The bodega recommends 14 to 16 °C, which is cooler than red wine is often served. Pair it with roast lamb, braises, grilled meat or an aged hard cheese. If you only try one wine from Raíz de Guzmán, make it this one.
