2015. Wasn’t sure what to pair with this delicious Filipino rice dish with longanisa, chicken, and cumin crab fat butter (likely a wide range of whites, rosés, and lighter reds would work well), but I wanted to try this Spanish Crianza and it was wonderful! The fruit flavors were enough to complement the sweet sausage and the smooth tannins cut through the richness without intensifying the spice.

Started smooth after opening and loosened nicely. Deep red and rich, but not overpowering. Enjoyed with an eclectic Spanish meal and it didn't overpower some delicate flavors. Delicious and versatile.

So smooth and nice that it’s almost dangerous. Very balanced.
