Area:
This is a selection from old bush vines in the area around Villalba and Haro in Rioja Alta.
Grape variety:
85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano, 5% Mazuelo; matured in French and American oak for 2 years.
Producer:
CVNE are a huge producer but one fixated on quality, particularly for their top wines. Imperial is their range from their best vineyards, in the best vintages.
The Bottle Shop rating:
This is certainly a ‘proper’ Reserva; it’s a wine of seriousness with classic Rioja flavours, it’s not trying to be modern. However it also shows a lovely balance of fruit, savouriness and gentle oak.
