"There is also a change in the 2016 Boada Crianza Family Estate, cropped from a cooler year, one of the finest in Ribera del Duero in recent years. This is super perfumed and floral, very clean, impressive and elegant. It's medium-bodied, fresh and with very fine, chalky tannins, delicious and approachable with complexity and very affordable pricing. 50,000 bottles produced. It's been in bottle since June 2018, and it's evolving at a very slow pace." —Wine Advocate

"The 2016 Crianza Boada is from Ribera del Duero and was aged up to 12 months in oak barrels. Garnet-red in color. The nose contains blackberry, undergrowth and balsamic aromas. The palate is dry and juicy, with firm, refined tannins that define a structured palate, leaving fruity notes behind." —Vinous
