| "Readers looking for oak, structure, and tannin should check out the dense ruby/purple-tinged 2001 Elias Mora Crianza, which spends 12 months in American and French oak. It possesses graphite, wood, barbeque spice, and smoke characteristics as well as copious quantities of black cherries, currants, and figs. Medium to full-bodied and complex, with additional structure, wood, and tannin, it should drink nicely for 5-7 years."
