Imperial Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2016

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2016 Reserva pours a deep ruby/purple with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart red and black fruits: black cherry, tobacco, cocoa, dill, vanilla and associated warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is a textbook, modern leaning and clean version of Rioja Reserva. Drink now through 2046. — 14 days ago

Cune Crianza Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2020

東大和のワイン仙人おすすめのリオハ赤、2022年もの。当然ながらまだフレッシュさも残りますが、パワフルでタンニンは滑らか。味わいもオレンジピール、チョコレート、コーヒー、タバコなどなど複雑。これで千円ちょっととは恐れ入ります。
うきうき税込1325円。

Cune Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2017

Early picking for the ‘17 vintage, and it shows with fresh acidity lifting the well extracted black fruits. Still quite primary at year 7.
Very good value for a Gran Reserva.
