L'avis des experts
Spicy, savoury and toasty, displaying aromas of dried herbs, cloves and cocoa, some dried black fruits notes. Very long finish. (Medalla de plata en los Decanter World Wine Awards)
Spices, chocolate, vanilla and lots of vibrant, youthful plums, cherries and berries. A medium-bodied, very approachable Rioja with juicy fruit and fine tannins that make you want to drink a bottle. Such a pleasing, well-made and youthful gran reserva, Drink now or hold. (Zekun Shuai)
The 2018 Cune Gran Reserva was produced with grapes picked between the 8th and 26th of October, quite late into the season, reflecting a cooler year with frost and snow and a mild summer. The vegetative cycle was long, 180 days, and the final blend was 85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo or Cariñena, mostly from their 70 hectares in Torremontalbo. The grapes fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and concrete after a 24-hour cold soak, and the wine matured in French and American oak barrels for 24 months. They bottled the wine with 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.6 and 5.76 grams of acidity. It has spicy notes from the oak, vanilla and coconut, and is aromatic and expressive, clean, with a classic Gran Reserve profile. 295,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2021, and the bottles are kept for at least three years before they are released. (Luis Guitérrez)
Very reliable stuff from María Larrea and the CVNE team, this is a well-judged cuvée of Tempranillo, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo, mostly from CVNE's own vines in Torremontalbo. Skilfully aged in French and American oak, it's still pretty youthful, exhibiting layers of strawberry, black cherry and aromatic kitchen spices. 2024-29.
