Contino 2012 Rioja Gran Reserva
Contino Gran Reserva is a harmonious wine, with a great balance between silkiness and roundness in the mouth. On the nose it is fragrant, reminiscent of ripe black fruit, with floral and balsamic notes that provide freshness. All well balanced with subtle toasted notes from its ageing in barrel. On the palate it is fine, subtle, with pleasant tannins and perfect acidity, which make it a persistent wine with a long finish.

A bold and structured Cru Beaujolais, offering aromas of dark cherries, ripe plums, and blackberries, with earthy undertones of forest floor and spices like black pepper and cloves. On the palate, it delivers rich dark fruit flavors, firm tannins, and a robust, mineral-driven backbone, balanced by refreshing acidity. The wine has a long, lingering finish with hints of spice and savory herbs, making it a complex and age-worthy expression of Gamay.
