L'avis des experts
Such a delicate, nuanced Rioja that's full of red berries, blueberries, grilled pepper, spices and minerals. So transparent and ethereal, with lots of finesse and delicacy. The tannins are fine, with a very silky, elegant center palate. Seamless and long. Drink from 2025. (Zekun Shuai)
Bright ruby to the eye, this wine has aromas of blackberry, cocoa powder and lavender. Blackberry and cocoa powder transition to the palate and are joined by flavors of black cherry, violet, baking spices and caramel. Opulent tannins and a note of butterscotch stick around for a while. (Mike DeSimone)
The 2020 Reserva was produced with grapes from different plots on the property that were picked early and, between that and the higher yields of the year, resulted in a wine with 13.77% alcohol, quite low for a very warm year. It is composed of 86% Tempranillo, 6% each Mazuelo and Graciano and 2% Garnacha. It fermented by plot in stainless steel and concrete vats and matured for 18 months in oak barrels, mostly French but with 5% of them American. It feels fresh and harmonious, with some developed aromas, a minty touch of freshness and a medium to full-bodied palate that calls for food. It has depth and precision and is hedonistic, a notch above the 2019 despite the challenges of the year. A triumph over the vintage. 298,648 bottles and 5,000 magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2023. (Luis Gutiérrez)
By far the dominant style at Contino in terms of sales, accounting for 90% of the bodega's output, this well-judged blend combines Tempranillo, 6% each of Graciano and Mazuelo and 2% of Garnacha. Aged in older French and 8% American oak, it's more refined and powerful than some recent releases, with some chalky freshness, good focus and precision, wild herb, plum and mulberry fruit and enough structure to age in bottle. 2024-31.
