Lot #59. CVNE Imperial Rioja Tinto Gran Reserva 1988

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 93 JG.
"The 1988 Imperial Gran Reserva was bottled in the spring of 1994 and is a beautiful example of the vintage that has now entered its apogee of peak maturity and is drinking with great breed and style. The superb nose offers up a constellation of cherries, red plums, coconut, a touch of fennel seed, lovely soil tones and a deft base of vanillin and coconutty oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nicely tangy today, with a lovely core, melting tannins and outstanding length and grip on the pure and elegant finish. A lovely, lovely wine."
