| Tempranillo wine Liberalia Cuatro 2002 is a red Crianza from Spain. Harmony is the intrinsic characteristic of this wine. Liberalia Cuatro 2002 has deep red color at its heart and purple in its robe. Twelve months maturation in French and American oak and Twelve months refining in bottles before release make this red Crianza an extremely rich and elegant wine. The nose displays a wide range of sensations, as much as for its intensity and for its quality. The strength of the earth passes in all its magnitude, by the blending of spiced traces from the tertiary series due to the time that the wine remained in the oak cask (clove, liquorice, and subtil remembrances of cacao). It has notes from the lactic and "pasteleria" series, announcing the presence of new oak. Liberalia Cuatro 2002 has an oily entrance to the palate, which fuses with the sensations provided by the sweet tanins that the bottle aging creates. Everything is structurated in countless tactile sensations that wake up the rest of the senses. The Tempranillo Tinto de Toro grapes are from vineyards that are over fifty years old, with some being close to 100 years old.

"The 2002 Cuatro Crianza, made from 50-100 year old vines, is a successful effort in the more challenging vintage. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by a Cotes du Rhone-like, peppery, spicy earthiness, plenty of black cherry and currant fruit, excellent ripeness, and a nice texture." - Robert Parker
