Zifar Crianza 2017

Zifar Crianza is appreciated for its rich, full-bodied nature and deep color, with notes of cherry, plum, and vanilla. While some find its tannins soft and well-balanced, others highlight its intense cherry and cedar wood undertones. The wine offers a long, lingering finish with a refreshing touch. It is considered a good value for Ribera enthusiasts, though some see it as a lean alternative for Spanish wine.

Zifar Crianza presents a deep ruby hue, indicative of its robust character. The nose is a sophisticated tapestry of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and subtle hints of cedar, seamlessly integrated with a whisper of vanilla from well-judged oak aging. On the palate, this wine reveals a harmonious balance between its velvety tannins and vibrant acidity, providing a structured yet supple mouthfeel. The mid-palate is enriched with nuances of dried herbs and a touch of graphite, leading to a long, elegant finish. This Crianza exemplifies the finesse and complexity expected from a distinguished Ribera del Duero offering.
