2015 Imperial, Gran Reserva, C.V.N.E., Rioja, Spain

Description

Much anticipation has surrounded the release of the 2015 Contino Gran Reserva CVNE, and it has been rewarded with this brooding, dark and spicy wine. Displaying cherry blossom aromas, this is beautifully woven, with a palate bursting with flavours of damson, bramble and sweet spices. Succulent but concentrated, there is immense power here, hidden underneath pure and elegant fruit. This balance is complemented with a rolling freshness and a pleasant saline bit on the finish.

If you can keep your hands off it for that long, leave it for at least a few years, and enjoy from 2024 – 2040
