{"product_id":"contino-reserva-2017-750ml","title":"Contino - Reserva 2018 (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, echoes of healthy and mature red fruit in after a perfect maturation. Floral and balsamic notes add freshness, all together in harmony with subtle toasted notes from its time in barrel. In the mouth, fine and subtle with nice tannins and perfect acidity that make it a persistent wine with a long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJS95\u003cbr\u003eJames Suckling\u003cbr\u003eBlack cherries with cedar and dried flowers, as well as dusty earth. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm tannins that are long and polished. Lots of structure. Very typical and focused. Drinkable now, but better in 2024.\u003cbr\u003eRP94\u003cbr\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003eI tasted two vintages of the estate red that represents the blend and the character of the place. The 2018 Reserva comes from a cooler year and is a blend of 86% Tempranillo, 6% Mazuelo, 6% Graciano and 2% Garnacha with 14.12% alcohol and a pH of 3.48. The grapes ripened thoroughly and the wine is tasty but has a vibrant palate with freshness and depth. It has a classical nose and is complex and spicy with an earthy touch, a little developed and with fine-grained tannins. Very tasty. It spent 18 months in oak barrels, 90% of them French and 10% American; they are reducing the amount of American oak in this wine.\u003cbr\u003eWS91\u003cbr\u003eWine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA medium-bodied red, round and creamy, with supple tannins and citrusy acidity providing definition for appealing flavors of pureed black cherry and boysenberry fruit. Offers accents of mocha, violet and star anise, with savory hints of tobacco and mineral showing on the finish. Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano.
