Natalie's Score: 92/100

From Viña Vilano, Legón Crianza 2017 is a lush 100% Tempranillo sourced from Old Vines, some over 100 years old! The wine is rich and intense on the palate with ripe dark fruit, clove, cinnamon, cola, dried herbs and smoky vanilla flavours. A great cellaring candidate for 20-plus years. Pour with roast beef.

Crianza food pairings: roast pork, meat-lover's pizza, beef bourguignon.

Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A classic Spanish wine from the Ribera del Duero region, the 2017 Legon Premium offers a delicious bouquet of dried blueberry, fig, mustard seed, pastrami, dried rose, cinnamon, tobacco and vanilla. Made purely from Tempranillo, this well structured wine exposes a full body, polished tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is dry, with flavors of sour cherry, dried blueberry, black pepper, dried rosemary, cinnamon, wood burner, dark chocolate and cedar. Enjoy!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
