Natalie's Score: 91/100

Burgo Viejo Crianza 2020 is an outstanding value Rioja. This red blend, predominantly Tempranillo with a touch of Graciano and Garnacha, is dry and medium-full in weight, offering layers of dark plum, blackberry, dried tobacco, savoury herbs, and hints of dark chocolate. Accents of black pepper and well-integrated oak spice add depth, while the structured tannins provide balance. Aged for one year in American oak, it pairs beautifully with aged, sharp cheeses or grilled lamb skewers.

Crianza food pairings: smoked sausages, lamb stew, venison steak.
