Superklassisk Rioja, men klart defineret og præcis i den lige linje. Saftig, fint drikkeflow og masser af personlighed. Arketypisk historisk bedste Rioja-udtryk. 95+/100

Suckling om: Rioja CVNE Imperial Reserva

A precise, layered nose that shows excellent purity despite some sweet oak spices. More berry fruit comes out as you give it some time in the glass. Plums, cherries, red berries with dark mushrooms, cured meat, grilled spices, stones, vanilla and iodine. Juicy, spiced berries quickly tighten up on the medium- to full-bodied palate with dusty, powerful tannins, allowing it to expand into the finish. It grows on the palate and the creaminess is already chiselled. This will age beautifully in the next 10-15 years. Drinkable now, but better from 2026. 95/100

Tim Atkin om: Rioja CVNE Imperial Reserva

Imperial is made in what amounts to a separate bodega at CVNE, curated by the talented María Larrea. This assemblage of Tempranillo and 15% Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha hails from Briones, Torremontalbo and Villalba and is suitably intense, perfumed and deeply coloured. Showing the heat of the vintage, it's a comparatively forward style with strawberry, liquorice and black cherry flavours and deftly integrated oak. 2024-32 94/100

Parker om: Rioja CVNE Imperial Reserva

The 2019 Imperial Reserva was cropped from a very healthy year with good ripeness and balance, a powerful vintage with a 185-day vegetative cycle. They look for finesse, precision and power, a blend of Tempranillo and 15% Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha put through optical sorting and fermented in oak vats with yeasts selected from the Imperial vineyards and a 20-day maceration, then it matured in barrels, 70% French and the rest American, for 24 months. It has 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.61. It feels very classical, with finesse and power, balanced and serious. It has tannins that call for food. 150,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2022. 94/100

Galloni om: Rioja CVNE Imperial Reserva

The 2019 Reserva Imperial is a blend of 85% Tempranillo, 5% Garnacha, 5% Graciano, and 5% Mazuelo sourced from Villalba, Briones and Torremontalbo in Rioja Alta. Aged for 24 months in a combination of French (70%) and American (30%) oak barrels, this dark garnet wine reveals enticing aromas of blackberry and ripe plums from the Tempranillo, complemented by hints of hops and herbs from the other varieties. Dry, intense and juicy on the palate, it offers a fairly chalky and energetic mouthfeel. This is a classic Rioja with a nod to fruit-forwardness.

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.
