Cune Imperial Gran Reserva 2015
Imperial Gran Reserva is an iconic Rioja and Spanish wine. It is only made when harvests are exceptional. This wine is designed to last and improve over time.
The 40-year-old Barbarroja and Antoñanzas estates and small-scale vineyards in Torrentalvo were selected for this 2014 vintage. These are small, non-irrigated vineyards with head-trained vines that grow in clay soils that are poor in organic matter and contain some rocks. The vineyards are situated on gentle south-facing slopes and benefit from a moderate continental climate.
Nose: Deep ruby color with cherry notes. Great complexity and aromatic quality of compote fruit, licorice stick, and those from aging such as spicy and balsamic aromas.
Palate: Light vanillas, toffees and chocolates also appear. The palate is smooth and silky.
Finish: Well defined tannins and a long and pleasant after taste. This is a perfect partner for red meats, game, oily fish and cured cheeses.
