Description

Finca La Emperatriz Reserva 2012 est un bel exemple d'équilibre entre classicisme et modernité. Particulièrement élégant et frais et en bouche, avec des tanins lissés et savoureux, il exprime clairement le caractère du Tempranillo, mais repose également sur une utilisation soigneuse du chêne français et du chêne américain.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"I saw better balance and integration of the oak in the 2012 Finca la Emperatriz Reserva, a wine that I often cite as an example of what a textbook Rioja Reserva should be--combining characteristics from traditional and modern styles. The blend of 94% Tempranillo, 3% Garnacha, 2% Viura and 1% Graciano fermented in open top stainless steel with indigenous yeasts after a four day cold soak, and matured in oak barrels (mostly American, 70%) for 23 months. There is a core of bright red fruit with a nice dose of sweet spices in a subtle combination. The palate is polished and nicely balanced, with clean flavors and enough acidity and freshness. Very pleasant. 68,000 bottles".
