Contino Gran Reserva 2017
Description
Les vins de Contino viennent uniquement de vignobles qu'on possède, donc le Tempranillo, le Graciano, le Grenache et le Mazuelo qu'on utilise pour les faire sont vendangés autour de Laguardia, dans la Rioja Alavesa. Il a des arômes épicés et de fruits noirs mûrs super cool. Avec une belle longévité devant lui, il est long et très frais.

L'avis des experts
The Contino vineyards escaped the frost from 2017, and the 2017 Gran Reserva, from a warm and dry year, is a blend of 82% Tempranillo, 5% Mazuelo, 10% Graciano and 3% Garnacha, the selection of the best grapes from different plots in the estate. This is 100% from the new team and from a vintage they consider very good for their property, different than the majority of Rioja. The idea is to follow the long aging in oak to continue with the tradition and keeping the freshness and controlling the power from the place. This is hedonistic and flattering, spicy after maturing in French barrique for 24 months. They harvested earlier than ever, in early September, and the wine reached 13.52% and has very good freshness with a pH of 3.47. It's round and enjoyable, fresher than the last vintage I had tried. 29,483 bottles and 1,000 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2020.
A fruity and juicy red with round tannins and savory fruit. Medium to full body and a creamy texture. Hints of caramel and meat to the dark fruit. 85% tempranillo, 10% graciano, 5% mazuelo and garnacha. Enjoyable now.
Contino's warmer site escaped the frosts that devastated large sections of the Rioja Alavesa in 2017, so this is one of the better expressions of the year. Tempranillo based with 19% Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha, this is rich, structured and concentrated with clove and rosemary top notes, good oak integration and the structure to age. 2024-35.
