It shows a bright ruby red colour with intense aromas of fresh red berries, plum and cherry. The wine spends around 12 months in American oak and a further year in bottle, adding subtle notes of vanilla, sweet spice and smoke without overwhelming the fruit. On the palate, ripe cherry and redcurrant meet hints of chocolate, spice and earth, with well‑structured yet polished tannins and a long, balanced, red‑fruited finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Scores and Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBodegas Tarón Crianza has caught the eye of international critics, with previous vintages selected by Wine Spectator as a “Smart Buy” and rated around 90 points.

Together they farm around 700 hectares of vineyards divided into more than 1,000 small plots, many with vines 50 years old or more.
