A really well balanced, medium bodied, dry red wine made from the carignan grape. Spicy cherry and plum fruits with some cream on the finish from 16 months in oak.

At the time of release, this wine showed a bright crimson red colour. On the nose, aromas of sweet ripe fruit and delicate notes of smokiness. On the palate, tastes of cherry, plum and blackberries combined with gentle clean aromas of oak. Elegant mouthfeel, a full body and a fresh and fruity aftertaste. This wine still has plenty of life in it and should drink very well for the next 10-15 years.

Rich and classic, this has long been one of the most respected of its kind.

Cubillo is the Crianza from Lopez Heredia, but is aged longer than most producer's Reservas. 'An iron fist in a velvet glove'.
