CVNE (Contino), Rioja Gran Reserva Vintage:2007 On the palate it shows

On the palate it shows a bit of the more rustic style of the 1970s

A wonderfully spicy and very Vosne nose combines red and black berry fruit aromas that display just a touch of secondary development along with intense floral notes

building tannins

Opaque purple/black in color

This is also moderately toasty with its otherwise fresh and attractively layered aromas of purple fruit

CVNE (Contino), Rioja Gran Reserva Vintage:2007 On the palate it showsA very powerful red with the structure and intensity of a great Rioja from the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s. Real gran reserva. Dried fruits such as plums, prunes and cherries. Hints of figs too. Layered and so structured. Full bodied and chewy yet intense and persistent. A fabulous wine. So much potential here. Better in 2020.
