Galloni über: Rioja CVNE Imperial Reserva

-- Galloni: Deep, brilliant ruby. Cherry, cassis, vanilla and incense on the expansive nose, where a zesty mineral note adds vibrancy. Sappy and precise on the palate, offering sweet dark berry, cherry liqueur and violet pastille flavors along with hints of mocha and spicecake. Rich and ample in style but shows superb energy as well. Finishes sweet, seamless and extremely long, with lingering florality and polished, fully integrated tannins. 94/100

Tim Atkin über: Rioja CVNE Imperial Reserva

-- Tim Atkin: Another Imperial red that shows the thumbprint of a cooler year, this is a cuvée of Tempranillo with extra backbone from 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo. Firm and still very youthful, it has plenty of tannic backbone, graphite and blackberry flavours and sweet, toasty French and American oak. 2027-40 94/100

Parker über: Rioja CVNE Imperial Reserva

-- Parker: The prototype of red from Rioja Alta could very well be the 2016 Imperial Reserva, fine, precise and powerful. The grapes for this cuvée were picked between October 10th and 25th, and it's a canonical blend of 85% Tempranillo and the rest Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha with 14% alcohol and balancing freshness. It fermented with their own Imperial yeasts in oak vats of different sizes and matured in French and American oak barrels for 24 months. This wine has a very defined style that should not change; it has more oak than the Asúa Reserva and is made with grapes not only from Haro but also from Torremontalvo, Villalba and Briones. 2016 was a cooler year, and the wines are fresher and balanced. This has the mushroomy touch from the old cave and plenty of tannins that are going to require powerful food and/or time in bottle. A classic among classics. 150,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2019. 93/100
