Imperial Gran Reserva 2018

Rioja’s reputation for outstanding quality and exceptional value is exemplified in this latest release from C.V.N.E.: Imperial Gran Reserva 2018 at £240 per 6 IB. The magnum opus of this great Rioja estate, the cool climate conditions of 2018 have brought harmony and freshness even its youth, resulting in some of the highest ever scores for this renowned cuvée, including 95+ from The Wine Advocate, beaten out only by the famed 1947 vintage. Tasting it for ourselves yesterday morning, it was clear to see how the classic ripe, black fruit character and beautifully integrated oak spice has been enlivened by a freshness and definition born of a frosty winter and mild, unhurried summer, which allowed ample time for nuanced fruit character to develop on the vine.
