Tim Atkin über: Rioja CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva

-- Tim Atkin: Made in a hot year, but not showing the effects of the weather, this comes from vineyards in Villalba, Briones and Torremontalbo and is another brilliant release from María Larrea. Savoury, sweet and well balanced, with 15% Graciano adding extra backbone and the zest that you expect from this special red. 97/100

Parker über: Rioja CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva

-- Parker: The wine that represents the traditional and serious reds from Haro, the 2012 Imperial Gran Reserva is a classical blend of Tempranillo with 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo that matured in barrel for two years. It has a textbook serious Haro nose, with dark spices, ripe fruit, something balsamic and a round, full-bodied palate within the straight and serious style of the wine. 2012 was a warm year, but the wines are fresher than those from 2011. This has fine, slightly grainy tannins with good grip. A textbook Imperial Gran Reserva. 95/100

Suckling über: Rioja CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva

-- Suckling: A tight and beautiful wine with blackberries, bramble berries, rose petals and lemon grass. Medium to full body, ultra-fine tannins and a beautiful finish. Very fine-grained. Lovely now. Even better in 2020. 94/100

Galloni über: Rioja CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva

-- Galloni: (raised in new and used French and American oak barrels for two years) Vivid ruby-red. An intensely perfumed bouquet evokes ripe raspberry, cherry-cola, potpourri and exotic spices, with a suave vanilla topnote and a smoky mineral flourish. Sweet and broad in the mouth, offering lush red fruit, spicecake, mocha and coconut flavors that steadily tighten up on the back half. Finishes extremely long and spicy, with a resonating floral quality, well-knit tannins and lingering oak spice notes. This one is still quite young. 94/100

Decanter über: Rioja CVNE Imperial Gran Reserva

-- Decanter: Oak infused nose giving a smoky, sexy, charred edge to the wine. This is still young, with a crushed raspberry and sweet balsamic feel, fleshy and starting to open. Firm tannins layered through with dark chocolate notes and rose petal overtones. Bottled in 2015, after 24 months in American oak, then released in 2018. Grapes all over 40 years old. A wonderful wine that is only made in the best vintages. 94/100
