The red wine Contino Gran Reserva Rioja DOCa, vintage 2009 from the winery Vinedos del Contino has been rated in 2015 with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Tempranillo, Graciano, Grenache from the region La Rioja in Spain.
Dark ruby garnet with purple reflections and a broader rim brightening. Ripe cherries and candied tangerine zest with a a touch of licorice, woody spice and nougat in the background. Finely textured, the palate is elegant and balanced with red forest berries matched by a mineral structure that lingers for a long time. It seems light on its feet and already accessible, but with secure ageing potential for many years.
