Contino Rioja Graciano 2021

- 96 points -

A striking graciano that shows fresh blackberries, minerals, menthol, eucalyptus, cured meat, iron, basil, graphite and, most importantly, black peppercorns that grow on the nose. Full-bodied and intense but still fluid, with brightness and the structure of graciano, but there is nothing heavy. Refined, long and lively. Very delicate rendition, thanks to its light, careful extraction. This is a benchmark reference. Drink now or hold.
