Description
Cerro Anon Crianza, Bodegas Olarra, La Rioja DOCa, Spain, 2023
Grapes: A blend of 90% Tempranillo, 5% Mazuelo and 5% Graciano, 20 year old vines, matured for 14 months in oak and at least 6 months in bottle
Producer Tasting Note:
A fine example of Crianza Rioja with fruit sourced mainly from vineyards in the Rioja Alavesa. An intensely dark cherry red with sparks of ruby. Initial fruity aromas are followed by spicy notes and aromas from the oak cask ageing. On the palate it is very structured and smooth. The tannins are ripe and mellow and the finish long and refined.
Critic's Tasting Note:
"Ripe dark fruit aromas with cedary and earthy notes. Velvety on the palate, showing freshness."
88/100 points, Decanter World Wine Awards, January 2025
Also, 91/100 points, Tim Atkin MW, January 2026
Food Match: Hearty, savoury dishes. Excellent local matches include grilled lamb, particularly roasted lamb with herbs and anchovies, as well as dishes featuring pork and beef. Other local pairings to consider are baked pasta dishes and baked dishes with tomatoes and chorizo
