Robert Parker: Urbina Crianza 2005
The 2005 Crianza, a blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano and Mazuelo that spent 14 months in American oak. Medium crimson-colored, it emits an aromatic array of cedar, tobacco, spice box, cherry, and black raspberry. On the palate it displays an elegant personality with ample spicy fruit, a bit of structure, and a silky finish. It will drink well through 2020.
