CVNE 2007 Imperial Gran Reserva (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Imperial Gran Reserva
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: CVNE / Rioja

Exotic, smoky aromas of blue fruits and Middle Eastern spices are proprietary to this wine. The mouthfeel is juicy but also earthy, while flavors of tobacco, mint, herbs and plum finish mellow and elegant. Although 2007 was not a good vintage in Rioja, this is a success; drink through 2024.
