Heiner Lobenberg om:
Rioja Vina Real Gran Reserva Especial 2016

95
/100

Fantastisk klassisk materiale med tæthed og spænding. Ny verden møder gammel verden. Hellere fortolke modernitet i den gamle Rioja-verden end at sammenligne vinen med Artadis, Ocers eller Telmo Rodriguez. Men i den gamle verden, en bemærkelsesværdig opstilling! 95/100

Parker om: Rioja Vina Real Gran Reserva Especial

The extremely affordable 2016 Viña Real Gran Reserva Especial recovers the "Especial" mention from the old Reserva Especial vintages from a very good year. It's a classical Rioja Alavesa blend of 95% Tempranillo with 5% Graciano from their own vineyards. It's open and expressive, with notes of berries, fresh blood and iron, orange peel and sweet spices with the oak still present and in need of some more time in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied and feels lean and serious, with abundant chalky tannins. This should be a classical vintage of this wine in the making. It matured in barrel for two years and no less than three in bottle. 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2019. 95/100

Suckling om: Rioja Vina Real Gran Reserva Especial

Attractive nose of dark cherries, dill, thyme, coconut and chocolate. Some salted caramel, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, silky tannins and vibrant acidity. So balanced and fresh with a long, refined finish. 95% tempranillo and 5% graciano. Better from 2024. 95/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Rioja Vina Real Gran Reserva Especial

This dark ruby-colored wine offers a nose of black cherry, black currant, vanilla and anisette. Well balanced tannins and acidity support flavors of dark red berries, butterscotch, dark chocolate and a hint of violet. Luxurious tannins settle in and slowly dissolve into a lingering finish. 95/100

Tim Atkin om: Rioja Vina Real Gran Reserva Especial

This superb Gran Reserva is a cuvée of Tempranillo with 5% Graciano that showcases the Rioja Alavesa villages of Labastida and Laguardia. Partnering Tempranillo with 5% Graciano, it's refined, detailed and poised, with crunchy black fruit flavours, chalky acidity and minerality, violet aromas and perfumed French oak. Stylish, age-worthy stuff. 95/100

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.
