Contino Reserva 2014
Fiche technique
L'avis des experts
The 2014 Reserva is usually a blend of 85% Tempranillo with 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo and Garnacha that wants to express the character of the estate, its rocky limestone soils and ripe character. It fermented in stainless steel and aged in 50% French and 50% American oak barrels for two years. It's subtly balsamic, with faint aromas of cigar ash, incense and also some dried flower petals, spices and a touch of ripeness. The palate is medium-bodied with moderate ripeness, quite contrasted with the sensation on the nose. 287,960 bottles and 1,500 magnums were produced. It was bottled in July 2017. - Luis Gutiérrez.
Not quite as thrilling as the Reserva bottling perhaps - 2014 was a more complicated vintage than 2016 - but this is still an impressive Gran Reserva. The oak is a little marked, but there is good underlying concentration, thyme and rosemary aromas, sweet fruit and a pleasant volatile life. 2020-25

Botella núm. 193.764 de 303.242. Cena de raclette en casa. Excelente nariz, muy aromático para estar un buen rato olisqueando!
Lejos de mis expectativas
Suavemente afrutado, ligero y fácil de beber. Taninos equilibrados que le permiten maridar con pescados y carnes. Un gran rioja.
Es un vino excelente todo un clásico y uno de mis favoritos
