Marques de Caceres Rioja Crianza 2012

Black currant with a terrific blue berry fragrance lifting the whole. There is substantial fruite with a cranberry flavor but not the tartness. Very pleasant, worthy of a second glass. Crianza is the fresh young Rioja that has seen no wood. This 2009 is a good example. 13%ABV.
