"Cune stands for the Compañia Vinicola del Norte de España and having acquired a soft spot for its riojas since my first visit to Rioja in the late Seventies, it is good to find this bodega back on track. Crianza riojas are those that follow the Bodelais example with at least one year in oak barrels, plus another year of ageing before being released in the third year. Enjoy this vanilla-redolent American and French oak-aged, spicy, sweet, savoury, chocolate-scented wine for what it is - a red rioja steal."
