Description
Assemblage de Tempranillo, Grenache, Mazuelo et Graciano. Élevage de 3 ans en fûts avec 2 soutirages par an. Ce Crianza 2012 est arrivé à pleine maturité, nul besoin de le faire vieillir davantage. Décantation délicate 1h en aval avec bouchon. Verre à Bordeaux, 17 degrés.
Robe cerise/grenat moyenne. Le premier nez montre encore un joli fruit intense de prune fraîche et de figues séchées. A l’évolution, des notes plus tertiaires s’expriment subtilement avec les champignons frais, la boîte à cigare et les épices douces. La bouche se révèle charnue et juteuse avec des saveurs de cacao et des tanins ultra fins.
Suggestion gourmande
Pommes de terre à la Riojana, paprika/chorizo.
Avis des Experts
James Suckling
"Enticing aromas of blackberries, leather and cedar with some dried flowers follow through to a medium to full body with firm tannins and a fresh, citrusy finish. Very traditional and real. Drink now."
The Wine Advocate
"2013 was a very tough vintage when they had to discard up to 100,000 kilograms of grapes and production of most of the wines was lower; it's also the year when their father died, and they were very encouraged to make very good wines. The 2013 Viña Cubillo Tinto Crianza is the entry-level red from that year, the cooler of the shortlist of 2013, 2014 and 2015 I tasted next to each other. The wine is more austere even within the style they say is their wine for the by-the-glass market. It's classical and developed with a polished palate after three years in barrel. It overdelivers for the conditions of the year."
Tim Atkin
"This old vineyard had its work cut out in 2013, especially given the amount of clay in the soil in a wet year, but it dealt with what the vintage threw at it. Based on Tempranillo with 25% Garnacha and 5% each of Mazuelo and Graciano, this is light, tangy and still youthful, with white pepper and pomegranate flavours and subtle wood. 2022-25"
