Contino Rioja Gran Reserva (Magnum)

One of our favorite ever Riojas full stop, with critical acclaim across the board & 95 points from James Suckling; This is very Asian with black tea, mushroom and bark aromas, and ripe fruit undertones. Full body, round and polished. Edgy structure with blackberry, mushroom skin and cedar. Fantastic finish. Just a baby. Stock up for the cellar. Better in 2020 but already excellent.
