Condesa de Leganza




So this is one of the first wines I bought, Condesa de Leganza Crianza Tempranillo. I picked this wine solely for the label. I thought it was cool. The other really cool thing was the price. Back in 2001, this wine was going for $8.00! Nowadays it has gone up to around $12 - 13, which is still a pretty good deal given the quality. This wine tastes great. You don't have to decant it if you don't want to. It has a bright bright burgundy color, a very clean and crisp taste, and is long in the mouth. It is by no means overpowering, but it can stand up well to a filet, or vacillo. There are different vintages out there. I would recommend looking for the 2001 or the 2002. And if you can somehow find the "Reserva" from 2002 you are in for a great experience!
