Esteban Martin, Cariñena Crianza 2012

One of our wines of the year (2025). At this price point it would reasonable to assume it to be over the hill. Not so; this is very nicely mature now and, as such, a great value. Deep cherry red colour with aromas of red berries, vanilla and a touch of toffee which follow through to the palate where there is good structure and medium length.
