C.V.N.E Imperial Reserva Tempranillo, Rioja, Spain

Dark, saturated ruby-black center, with deep, staining tears in the glass. The nose opens to blackcurrants, black raspberry, licorice, clove, dusty rocks, and Madagascar vanilla. The palate is where this wine begins to unveil its potential: It’s rich and polished, with plenty of sappy resinous oak tones that give way to rosemary, a touch of pine needle and cedar bark. Fresh, yet powerful, and very long on the finish, this Reserva has years and years of life ahead of it
