96
/100

Mittleres, leicht bräunlich durchscheinendes Rot. Würzige Nase, Pflaume, sehr reife Kirschen, Erdbeere, reife Johannisbeere. Butterweiches Tannin mit überaus charmanter Säure, erdig, süffig. Ein archetypischer Klassiker.

Suckling über: 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 über: 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 über: 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 über: 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.

Bodegas Contino

Die Bodegas Contino liegt in Laserna auf Schwemmland mit viel Kalkeinsprengseln und Kieseln nahe des Ebro, in einer Flussschleife unterhalb Laguardias in der Rioja Alavesa, der vom Terroir und Mikroklima klar besten Region der Rioja und damit Spaniens.
