Description

The 2007 Imperial Gran Reserva is again a great wine in the making. Red fruit and plenty of spices (nutmeg), the palate shows great acidity and abundant tannins that need resolving with time in bottle. Great tension and nerve. I think it will take some time to be released, which is good as it will require some patience. Drink 2016-2021.

Score: 93+ Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate (210), December 2013

Brilliant ruby-red. Complex, highly perfumed scents of red fruit preserves, vanilla, wood smoke and sandalwood, with a sexy floral quality in the background. Quite concentrated for the vintage, offering sweet red and dark berry flavours firmed by a spine of minerality. Closes smooth, broad and spicy, with outstanding focus and fine-grained tannins. While one could enjoy this wine immensely right now, my guess is that it has at least a good decade-plus of life ahead of it.

Score: 93 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, September 2014

One of the boldest Riojas come from CVNE. Classic and grand, this is a benchmark of the region's age worthy wines. The Imperial comes from vines at least 20-years-old around Villaba and Haro. An enticing nose of darkened berry fruit, woven with black anise opens into dense, nuanced, balsamic notes. This is a wine that can age in the cellar for many years. Decant if drinking today!

95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "2007 is a great, classic vintage of Imperial Gran Reserva in the making, and, not surprisingly, the wine is absolutely stunning in its youth. This is a touch more reserved out of the blocks than the Viña Real Gran Reserva from this vintage, not to mention the seemingly riper ’07 Imperial Reserva, as it wafts from the glass in a nascently complex blend of black cherries, dark berries, a touch of nutskin, cigar wrapper, a lovely base of complex soil tones, toasted coconut and a smoky top note. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and already very velvety on the attack, with a superb core of fruit, beautiful transparency down to the soil, ripe, suave tannins and simply great length and grip on the very pure and promising finish. This is a legend in the making. 2019-2075+. (Nov/Dec 2014)"

95 points (18.5/20), Decanter: "DWWA Regional Trophy Winner. Charming raspberry fruit, floral-touched ripe strawberries, elegant oak on the palate, coconut, spice, burlap and leather with dried berries and zest. Drink: 2014-2024. Alcohol 13.5%. (Dec 2014)"
