The Wine Advocate #251 - 30th Oct 2020 - Luis Gutiérrez - 2018 Izadi • Crianza - 90/100 - 2020 - 2024 - $16
The balsamic and modern 2018 Crianza still has plenty of tannins and oak-related flavors, ripe and showy, very much in the house style, even within their more "classical" lines. It contains small percentages of Garnacha and Graciano and fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in 50/50 French and American barrels for one year. It needs food. They produced 750,000 bottles of this, the largest production in the portfolio by far.
