Imperial Rioja Gran Reserva 2012

- 95 points -

This shows concentrated nose with tea, a smoky touch and a subtle hint of menthol. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, firm yet balanced with evenly distributed fruit. It continues with succulent dark fruit and youthful tannins, incisive yet precise. Structured and built to age, though it can be enjoyed now with some aeration or cellared for years to come. Drink or hold.
