"The 2014 Rioja “Crianza” from Bodegas Peciña is a gorgeous bottle of utterly classical Rioja, offering up an expressive and nicely precise bouquet of cherries, red and black raspberries, cloves, Cuban cigar wrapper, a beautifully complex base of soil tones, a touch of bonfire and a lovely framing of coconutty American oak. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and already velvety on the attack, with a superb core of fruit, lovely soil signature, ripe, wellintegrated tannins, excellent focus and a long, tangy and complex finish. This is a beautiful example of how it is not necessary to buy Reservas and Gran Reservas exclusively to get a great bottle of Rioja! The wine is starting to drink quite nicely at age seven, but there are still some backend tannins here that would not look unkindly on another three to five years of cellaring." |
