90 Points.
The 2005 Crianza is 90% Tempranillo, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Merlot from some of the estate's younger vines. It was aged in French and American oak for 16 months. Deeply colored, the wine reveals a complex aromatic display of cedar, saddle leather, violets, lavender, blueberry, and blackberry. This leads to a medium-bodied, supple-textured wine with ripe, spicy blue and black fruits and light tannin. The wine is well-balanced and has excellent concentration. Give it 1-2 years and drink it through 2020.

87 Points.
Exotic floral, clove and cumin notes accent the ripe fruit in this distinctive red. It's expressive, but a bit overoaked. Drink now through 2011.
