It needed 3 hours to show up. It is still very young, but it is very old world style even though it s predominately fruity wine. The fruit is more subtle and less alcoholic and jammy, the oak is less vanilla and more spicy. Just before opening this Crianza I opened from the same winery Reserva 2003. Unfortunately the bottle was heavily corked. So one can appreciate the screw cap stopper. Very good value wine.
