Heiner Lobenberg om:
Rioja CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva 2018

96
/100

Medium, let brunlig gennemskinnelig rød farve. Krydret næse, blomme, meget modne kirsebær, jordbær, modne ribs. Smørbløde tanniner med ekstremt charmerende syre, jordagtig, drikkelig. En arketypisk klassiker.

Suckling om: Rioja CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva

This is perfumed, with violets, graphite and dried flowers. Elegant and precise, with a tender expression of fruit and finely etched chalky tannins. Juicy and vibrant, yet long and absorbing, with a fresh approachable side balanced by a sense of nerve and tension. Drink or hold.

Parker om: Rioja CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva

The 2018 Imperial Gran Reserva was cropped from a year with the weather from yesteryear, a cold winter with frost, snow and abundant rain, a cool spring and mild summer that resulted in a long vegetative cycle of 180 days and a late harvest between October 8th and 26th. It has similar parameters to the 2017 I tasted next to it, with 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.55 and 6.03 grams of acidity, but it shows fresher. It feels very complete, fresh and vibrant, with more depth and tannin. It's still quite young and should develop nicely in bottle with that extra kick from the cooler year. It was a smaller crop, and they produced 56,000 bottles. It was bottled in July 2021. 95+/100

Decanter om: Rioja CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva

Mouthwatering freshness supported by a firm acid verve and chalky tannins hold the core of prune, blackberry and black cherry with strrenth and ease. Powdery graphite, dark chocolate shavings, liquorice root, mocha and chcocolate mousse build layers of broody complexity. CVNE's best vineyards in Rioja Alta provide the fruit for Imperial Gran Reserva – 85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo in 2018, from Villalba and Torremontalbo. Fermentation with native yeasts was followed by malolactic in concrete vats, then the wine was aged for two years in 80% French and 20% American oak barrels, new and second-use, with racking every eight months, and further ageing in bottle before release. A wine that, still teasingly coiled, has a long time ahead of it.

Tim Atkin om: Rioja CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva

One of the last vintages of Imperial's Gran Reserve to use 20% American oak, this a focused, age-worthy wine that will still be going strong in two decades' time. Featuring Tempranillo, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo, it's a serious, firm, yet very well balanced red with lots of acidity, muscular tannins, toasty oak and layers of blueberry and black cherry fruit.

Min vinmager

Bodegas Contino

Bodegas Contino ligger i Laserna på alluvial jord med masser af kalksten og småsten nær Ebro, i en bugtning af floden nedenfor Laguardia i Rioja Alavesa, klart den bedste region i Rioja og dermed i Spanien med hensyn til terroir og mikroklima.
