Bodegas Vista Alegre Rioja Carrizal Crianza

I'm geting convinced this wine will be verry wel for some years to come. Color is still nice dark red some aging on the brim. Nose red fruit, some vanilla, wood is perfect integrated Taste is following the nose nicly, holds 30-40 seconds. Structure is smooth just a bit silky. This wine is now at its peak or just past it, will be verry nice for at least 2-4 years.

Although advised to drink soon (untill next year), it still holds strong. Oak is present, nice smell and tast, melted into nice pallet. Color nice dark clearly getting time into it.

Nose: Dark red fruit, some vanilla note, oak Color: Dark red, some evolution on the edge (brick red) Taste: Nice melted and integrated tast, fruit with an underlying wood tone also the vanille appeared, last about 30 seconds. Structure: Not verry special, bit silky. Needs some time 1-2 hours to open.

Seemed to be a less optimal bottle, previous ones made much better impression so no rating given
