Fresh blackberries, plums, smoked spices, graphite and cocoa powder. So juicy and firm, with fresh, abundant tannins coming from the fruit and spicy oak, but all woven in a fine-grained form, which clearly shows aging potential. Medium- to full-bodied with a very long finish. Try after 2026. - Zekun Shuai, Senior Editor.
One of the last vintages of Imperial's Gran Reserve to use 20% American oak, this a focused, age- worthy wine that will still be going strong in two decades'time. Featuring Tempranillo, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo, it's a serious, firm, yet very well balanced red with lots of acidity, muscular tannins, toasty oak and layers of blueberry and black cherry fruit. 2030-2040.
The 2018 Imperial Gran Reserva was cropped from a year with the weather from yesteryear, a cold winter with frost, snow and abundant rain, a cool spring and mild summer that resulted in a long vegetative cycle of 180 days and a late harvest between October 8th and 26th. It has similar parameters to the 2017 I tasted next to it, with 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.55 and 6.03 grams of acidity, but it shows fresher. It feels very complete, fresh and vibrant, with more depth and tannin. It's still quite young and should develop nicely in bottle with that extra kick from the cooler year. It was a smaller crop, and they produced 56,000 bottles. It was bottled in July 2021. - Luis Gutiérrez.
