Heiner Lobenberg om:
Rioja Vina Real Gran Reserva Especial 2017

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

Suckling om: Rioja Vina Real Gran Reserva Especial

Complex and pretty profound nose with tapenade, savory mussels, dark mineral and a fine twist of spiciness and piquancy to the dark cherries here. Just a hint of vanilla. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, showing excellent intensity, juiciness and firmness. Long, ripe and really balanced. Drink or hold. 95/100

Tim Atkin om: Rioja Vina Real Gran Reserva Especial

The Viña Real Gran Reserva is more open than the Reserve bottling, possibly because of the warmer vintage in 2017. Tempranillo provides the core here, with support from 5% Graciano, with ageing in a mixture of 40% new French and American oak. Violet and vanilla perfumed, with chalky intensity and good underlying structure and backbone. 94/100

Parker om: Rioja Vina Real Gran Reserva Especial

The 2017 Viña Real Gran Reserva is a classical Rioja Alavesa blend of 95% Tempranillo with 5% Graciano from their own vineyards. It matured in new and used barrels for two years and was racked every four months and no less than three in bottle. It has 13.95% alcohol, a pH of 3.54 and six grams of acidity. This is a textbook Gran Reserva; perhaps this year it shows a faster evolution, with notes of olives, with hints of mint, ripe but with acidity. It has a polished palate with fine-grained tannins and a very pleasant tactile sensation. It's ready but should also last. 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2020. 94/100

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.
