The 2021 Tinto Fino Celeste Crianza from Ribera del Duero was aged for 12 months in 300-liter French (55%) and American (45%) oak barrels, 17% new. Garnet in color, it offers aromas of cherry and sour cherry with marked barrel influence, including a hint of vanilla. Fine tannins and a chalky, plush texture carry through to a polished red fruit finish.

A juicy and well-balanced wine showing aromas of fresh red fruit, spiced plums, berries and touches of warm bread, white pepper and hibiscus. Crunchy and fruit-expressive, with a medium body and firm tannins. Excellent balance, and there is nothing overdone. It shows elegance and drinkability. Already approachable.
