Contino Viña del Olivo Genérico 2015

Tasting Notes

Simply stunning in 2015, as it was in 2014, Contino's best wine is the kind of red that any serious Rioja lover should have in his cellar. Marrying Tempranillo with 10% Graciano, it's a world-class cuvée made for the long haul, with aromas of incense and Mediterranean herbs, fine, nuanced tannins, chalky acidity and incredible focus, balance and palate length. Drink date: 2022-2035. (Tim Atkin, MW,timatkin.com,Rioja Special Report 2018)
