Abando 2001 Crianza Tempranillo (Rioja)
Red licorice and cherry candy aromas blend with mint and grass to form a simple, candied, somewhat green bouquet. The palate delivers standard cherry and raspberry, while the finish is easygoing as it displays mild chocolate and vanilla touches. Imported by Santiago Ijalba, S.A.
