CVNE, Imperial Gran Reserva 2016
On the nose, the 2016 Imperial Gran Reserva presents aromas of black and red fruits, complemented by notes of forest floor, cloves, roasted coffee, cigar leaf, chocolate, caramel, and balsamic nuances. The palate is deep and elegant, with warm tannins well balanced by acidity, leading to a long and complex finish. Crafted from the finest vineyards of Rioja Alta, this wine undergoes a meticulous selection process - from the vineyards to the cellar, to the barrels, resulting in a Gran Reserva with superb aging potential. The cooler growing season has yielded a wine with vibrant acidity and integrated tannins, balancing both power and grace, perfect for drinking now or cellaring for years to come.
Domaine De Chevalier Rouge 2021
Domaine de Chevalier is located in a clearing in the middle of a forest that protects the vines from extremes of temperature. In fact, Chevalier is a sort of secret garden, far from the limelight. This is something of a paradox for such an excellent wine, among the greatest in Bordeaux. The 2021 shows the vintage's combination of concentration and freshness beautifully. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend with its signature cassis and cedar, while Merlot adds flesh and early charm.
