CVNE Imperial Reserva 2014
Descripción
Nacido en los años 20, Imperial es uno de los grandes vinos de España. Solo se da cuando se producen cosechas excepcionales en la Rioja Alta y se obtiene tras la selección de las mejores uvas vendimiadas manualmente en los pagos de Cvne ubicados en esta subregión. De apariencia clásica y elegante, destaca su elegancia, su tanino amable y las notas especiadas de su crianza.

Opinión de los críticos
"The 2014 Imperial Reserva is 85% Tempranillo with 5% each of Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha fermented in stainless steel vats and matured in oak barrels for two years. It's the more balsamic and aromatic of all the Reservas, with intoxicating aromas of cigar box, ash, incense, old furniture, faint smoke and spices. There is good ripeness, without excess. I think this is a real triumph over the challenging conditions of the year, with harmony and balance, good acidity and very fine tannins. It's not a super vintage, but a noteworthy one, with all that is needed to develop in bottle. 150,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2017."
CVNE is working hard and smart to resurrect the iconic Imperial of the first half of last century. Unmistakable, classic Rioja style at its best: American oak, refined spices and a touch of red berry fruit. Balanced and soft on the palate, with a persistent dry finish. Lovely.
