The red wine Imperial Gran Reserva Rioja DOCa, vintage 2004 from the winery Bodegas Imperial has been rated in 2014 with 92 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the region Rioja Alavesa in Spain.
Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate orange rim. Plum fruit underlaid with fine spicy notes, ripe cherries, pleasant roasted notes, some mocha. Juicy, lively dark berry fruit, medium complexity, already well developed and drinkable, pleasant extract sweetness, has further development potential.
More about the tastingEthereal fragrance, liquorice, herbs. Immediately vivid on the palate, tightly interwoven soft and full-bodied components. Ripe tannin, broadly integrated, lively, finely nerved acidity, juiciness - all this is just beginning to become an amalgam, great charm, but also with clear extract reserves. Sticky, lingering and savoury. Very old school.
More about the tastingThe old master is now one of the best again: a majestic modernized classic with cinnamon and toast notes, the finest cherry fruit, great density and yet with the Atlantic elegance of Rioja, the ripe tannins hold back, noble acidity finish.
