Cune Imperial Gran Reserva 2012 is a mature, classical Rioja from exceptional sites in Rioja Alta. It opens with blackberry, dried cherry, cedar, tobacco, vanilla, leather and warm spice, while the palate brings together ripe dark fruit, savoury earth and fresh mineral lift. Tempranillo-led and gracefully evolved, it is structured without heaviness, with polished tannins and a long, persistent finish. Decant for roasted meats, grilled lamb or aged hard cheeses.
