CVNE (Contino), Rioja Gran Reserva Vintage:2007 Opaque purple/black in color

Opaque purple/black in color

minerally and bone dry finish that displays distinct citrus mineral nuances

This is also moderately toasty with its otherwise fresh and attractively layered aromas of purple fruit

(from Mitans proper)

There is really lovely vibrancy to the admirably pure medium weight flavors that exude energy as well as a fine minerality on the focused and long but slightly flat finish

CVNE (Contino), Rioja Gran Reserva Vintage:2007 Opaque purple/black in colorA very powerful red with the structure and intensity of a great Rioja from the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s. Real gran reserva. Dried fruits such as plums, prunes and cherries. Hints of figs too. Layered and so structured. Full bodied and chewy yet intense and persistent. A fabulous wine. So much potential here. Better in 2020.
