Coto de Imaz – Reserva 2010
Rioja DOCa, Spain 🇪🇸

Overview
Coto de Imaz carries centuries of history, with monks cultivating vines around the Imaz fortress since the 16th century. The Reserva 2010 is a testament to Rioja’s longevity, showing how gracefully these wines evolve over 15 years.

Aromas & Flavors
A beautiful flurry of ripe red fruits with fig accents and blueberry compote. Gentle notes of spice and earth emerge with air, adding layers to the fruit core.

Mouthfeel
Smooth, silky, and polished—tannins have fully integrated, leaving elegance and softness without losing freshness. The finish lingers with harmony and poise.

Food Pairing
Perfect with classic Rioja pairings like roasted lamb, jamón ibérico, or aged Manchego. It also shines on its own, a contemplative glass for savoring history in a bottle.

Verdict
A 15-year-old gem that stands proudly in its brilliance. Still vibrant, still captivating, and undeniably drinkable to the very last drop.

🍷 Personal Pick Highlight: When it comes to Coto de Imaz, it never disappoints—this Reserva proves once again why Rioja remains one of the world’s great aging regions. Cheers!
