Amazing wine, after we finished the remaining parts of this stunning Cab Sauv and Syrah posted on the blog yesterday we were thinking which wine to open as the bar was set quite high. So I found this Stunning Crianza I remembered we had more than one year ago. See the previous tasting from November 2010 here and November 2009.
