Finca La Pica 2011 Crianza (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Northern Spain
Variety: Tempranillo Blend
Winery: Finca La Pica / Crianza

From the beginning, this crianza from a very good vintage is lacking. The nose is mulchy and cheesy, with almost no fruit character. The palate is edgy in feel, while leafy, stalky red-fruit flavors are salty and taste of vanilla and caramel.
