    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    “The 2017 Imperial offers lashings of succulent black berries, cherries and ripe plums, which are overlaid by brambles and salted black olives that add sharpness to the moreish Espagnole sauce finish.”

    Critic Reviews

    Joaquin Hidalgo,
    Vinous
    The 2017 Gran Reserva Imperial blends 85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo from Villalba in Rioja Alta. Aged for 24 months in oak barrels (two-thirds French, one-third American), it's a dark garnet red. The 2017 reveals alluring aromas of sour cherry, blackberry and hints of mint, all set against an oak backdrop. Dry and concentrated, it finishes powerfully, achieving significant nuance for a ripe year in Rioja.
